Bokrug is a guardian deity worshiped by the Thuun'ha, which takes the form of a giant water lizard dwelling in the mysterious lake in the land of Mnar. It may have originated on the moon, as both the lake and the Thuun'ha themselves are believed to have descended to the Earth from it.

Notes[]

  • In the works of Brian Lumley, Bokrug is reimagined as a species, rather than a single entity. Like Lovecraft's Ghouls and Deep One hybrids, Lumley's Bokrugs begin life looking like humans, only to transform later. They have colonized Earth in prehistory, bringing along the Thuun'ha as a race of servants who worshiped the Bokrugs as gods.
