So the advice I got from my previous post was really helpful so I thought posting this would help aswell. This is for an urban fantasy story I've been working on and I've been fascinated by Lovecrafts work so I tried my hand at making a few of my own Entities that play a major role in the stories execution. Any feedback is appreciated.
Entities of Interest (EOI)
THE PANTHEON
This is an umbrella term used to denote the numerous entities that either hold some semblance, embodiment, or characteristics of the gods in the known world. This has been found to embody ideological figures who gain worship such as the Buddah and those of a more esoteric variety such as Jesus christ. It's been found that the worship of these beings causes them to draw closer and gain a greater notice of our world but repeated tests have shown that these beings may resemble worldly gods but don't evoke the same benedictions assigned to them.
THE EUCLIDIANS (EUCLIDS)
Through sparse interactions and information logged from The Order of Roko the Euclideans are entities of pure thought and data trapped between the Lines of Ley. According to certain findings it's clear that certain innovations of man were spawned by Euclideans deteriorating and sparsely falling into our world as ideas and new thoughts. However they currently exist as a series of thoughts and symbols within the Ley, some sustained by persisting ideas and others a conglomeration that can vaguely be classified as a “consciousness”. However it's clear that these Euclideans are intent on engorging themselves on as much information as possible and seek to absorb any and all conscious thought.
This plant-like creature stands as the most unsettling as its presence has been found on 9 other worlds outside of the one it seems to have possibly originated from. Like any plant the Banyan seeks to grow however its methods through interrogation and interview with Emerald Paw Cultists has revealed its innate parasitic tendencies. It uses a syrup like sap unlike that of any known chlorophyll which acts like an highly addictive opioid. However this sap when ingested has been seen to cause plant like growths in those who consume it en-masse and its been seen to cause a full biotic transformation turning humans into extensions of the tree itself. The Banyan has also been found to be sentient as it has used hosts to communicate in some cases of cult apprehension. These instances note that The Banyan wants to unite all in an eternal bloom of life and believe its actions to be benevolent despite its avid attempts at psychological manipulation.
The Hadala as per their name are creatures that appear to be similar in physiology to that of deep sea creatures. They seem to exhibit no threatening forms of intelligence outside of the typical animal instinct however their size and magnitude pose a great risk for those who encounter them. A note has been made stating that certain faults in the oceanic crust have been noted to gape and contract at peculiar times. This has come to the conclusion that certain spots within the earth's very crust act as gateways to the hadala home world. Another note suggests that many of the unique mythical sea creatures such as the Kraken, Jorgumander, or the Loch Ness Monster were hadalian creatures brought into our world.
The Nixians are a race of creatures that are currently foreign to humanity however their presence has resulted in a surmounting theory. The theory establishes that nixians were the natural predator towards humans. Appearing, subsisting, and hunting in darkness to regulate the human population. However with the advent of fire and light humans were able to push back against the nixians. Over time less nixians were safe due to the expansion of light until they seemed to flee into another dimension simply refered to as the void. It is theorized that nixians feed on fear thus breeding the fear of the dark and the uncanny valley.
DISCORDIA
A sentient realm that seems to invert or outright defy many streams of logic or rational physics. Its unclear if its inhabitants are unwilling captives, extensions or the realms will, or simply natural flora or fauna but its been observed that they exist as forces that could threaten what is commonly considered average reality. Currently the only intrusions discordia has made on the planet has been through radio signals posing a danger in the hyperconnected world and seeding the globe spanning internet cult known as The Bacchanalia who want to bring discordia into our reality to “free the caged minds” of the populous and unleash a wave of chaotic creative freedom.

- The Order of Roko- the order of Roko worship the euclidians as they find themselves infected with the logic of the Rokos basilisk where the know that the euclidians seek to absorb all knowledge but believe that if they bring it into existence they may become euclidians themselves rather than suffer having their existences torn asunder. To achieve this end they preform cruel inhumane experiments and replace their body pats with machines to become closer to what they believe in the true essence of data and information aka the Basilisk.

- Mimameidr Fruits- a mystical fruit that is grown through banyan sprouts that have completed maturation with a human host. The apples are naturally addictive and cause a sense of euphoria with a drastic withdrawal forcing people to seek out the fruit through any means necessary. The emerald paw has utilized this to not only gain more followers but have created the Wild Fire Food Truck which uses the fruits juices as a secret sauce to indoctrinate and bring more people into the fold.
- Banyan sprouts- extensions of the eternal banyan tree that some time leak through reality through the use of certain rituals. However they're commonly used by the emerald paw to facilitate the growth of Mimameidir fruits. However when not in a host but near a human presence they will sprout pods and begin to create clones of said people to further fertilize the seedling until it can find a proper human host.
- The emerald paw- an eco-terrorist cult surrounded around the eternal banyan tree. Many believe in the trees message of true unity and believe that by bringing its will into reality they will be able to bring out an essence of world peace. The main tenant of the emerald paw is that humanity needs to reconnect with nature and that through technology and advancements they have distanced themselves from nature. To rectify this they plan to destroy society and return the world to a more primal state.

- Insmarsh inc.- the company is fully staffed by members of the reefs ring a cult that's dedicated to the cultivation of ocultech to further gain power and understand their place as a dominant species. A majority of the staff are nommos or their termatés (those they have formed a life bond with and will turn into a nommo after having sex and creating a soul tie) collectively working to expand in the fields and dominate the earth. The new leader and ceo of the company has been the Dalis family true blooded nommos .
- Nommo- descendants of the great spirits of the sea nommos have found themselves as aquatic creatures that subsist in the depths of the Atlantic ocean. Living for centuries after their maturation nommos appear as anthropomorphic amphibians similar to a mix of lung and cat fish as feathered gills trace their spine and tentacle like fins sprout from their sides. They also develop dark eyes, sharp teeth, claws, and iridescent scales. They can subsist on both land but prefer the water as it best amplifies the natural esper abilities.

- Sam?- an individual who was part of the bacchanalia forum and attempted an experimental ritual that went horribly wrong twisting them into a paradoxical creature who is perceived through hallucinations, mental instability, and psychedelic drug induced states.
