C’Thun is dead, but who is C’thun? I offer you my observations. In polytheistic systems (such as Roman, Greek mythology as well as WoW lore), each god has its own significant dominion or authority over a specific area of the cosmos. Example: Apollo over music, herding; Aphrodite over love. But, what about C’Thun? What is he the god of??? Let’s look back a little first.

Sure, C’Thun was probably quite powerful as one of the five Old Gods in Azeroth. But, after being defeated by the Titans after millennia of fighting, C’Thun fell into the barren lands of Silithus. Thankfully, though, he didn’t die. From his new abode, C’Thun slept a lot and became quite an entomologist, creating lifeforms known as Silithid in his own image. So, is he the god of insects? I would say no.

When we first approached C’Thun, we /peer’ed him from the hallway next to his room and also visited an adjacent room with 3 prisoners (Merithra, child of Ysera of the green flight; Caelestrasz, child of Alexstrasza of the redflight; and Arygos, child of Malygos of the blue flight) and talked to them. We did all this without C’Thun batting a single eyelash or noticing us at all. So, is he the god of oblivousness? I would say no, but I would say we’re getting closer to the truth.

During the fight, C’Thun did a bunch of stuff, like shooting dark glares, summoning eye tentacles, summoning claw tentacles, and shooting eye beams. So, is he the god of these things? No, silly. Those are just his abilities, and being the god of his own abilities would just not be impressive, plain and simple. So, what is he the god of???

The most telling situations occur in phase two of the fight, during which C’Thun would swallow us one by one into his stomach. Problem was that his stomach acid wasn’t strong enough to kill us unless we were being stupid and that he had two tentacles in his stomach that, when killed, weakened him greatly. What a freaking moron! Our superGL made the following observation: “C’Thun is really really dumb. He wants to eat us. Fine. But, at least do it when half of us are dead already so we can’t freaking weaken and kill him.” Ah yes, the truth has come out. C’Thun is the god of moronic stupidity, gastric insufficiency, and pernicious gluttony. Oh, yea, and he’s the god of dropping really good loot and giving a lot of Brood of Nozdormu reputation. And thus ends my analysis.

if the screenshot or observations don’t do it for you, i offer you this:
