Ghroth

Ghroth is a living planet that wanders throughout the cosmos. It is known as the Harbinger and Maker, and believed to be responsible for "urging" the stars and worlds into their right configurations, that will allow the "sleeping masters" to rise from their tombs.

Biology
Ghroth's appearance is that of a rusty-red planetary body. It has an uneven surface covered in bumps that appear like humongous hills. As a living entity, it can alter the features of its surface and also change its trajectory through space by unknown means. According to some observations, it might even be capable of altering its mass somehow.

It has a single eye which appears like a "pale glistening sea" in photographs. When the eye is closed, photos show only mountains and rocky plains where the "sea" used to be.
