External Influences
The god Pomojema is modeled after H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu. It is described thus: "It represented a vaguely humanoid being seated on a carved throne. Leathery wings which might have been vestigial swept out in two awesome arcs to either side of the figure. Enormous claws thrust from feet and arms, the latter clinging to the ends of armrests on the throne. It had no face below slanted, accusing eyes - only a mass of Medusian, carved tentacles."
