Ghroth, an Outer God that resembles a rust-colored moon with a single gigantic red eye that it closes to avoid detection. It's made up of molten iron, ash, and gas, and splitting the surface are cracks or faults. Below its crust are vast seas, which are used to form a giant eye.

It drifts throughout the universe while singing its siren song, The Music of the Spheres. Any Great Old Ones or Outer Gods sleeping on a planet it passes is awakened by its call. Ghroth destroys planets as well and destroyed the home of Baoht Z'uqqa-mogg forcing it to flee its home and take up residence on Earth. As Groth gets closer to a world, the planet experiences natural disasters in the form of erupting volcanoes, tidal waves, earthquakes, changing tides, and horrific storms.



“它如同生锈了一般通体棕红，除了山丘一般的球状凸起物以外并无其他特点 ……当然，如果他从这里望去就会发现那些凸起并非山丘大小，而应该更为巨大。它毫无生气地浮在那里，散发着压倒性的气息，犹如翻滚的闷雷......它突然开始移动....但是行星的表面怎么会移动？......行星的表面也不会随意开裂，更不会散开几千英里，漏出地表下那苍白泛光的物质。”
格赫罗斯是克苏鲁神话中的外神之一，由英国作家拉姆齐·坎贝尔创造，初登场于《牵引》(The Tugging)。其形象为一颗巨大的锈红色行星，由气体、灰烬和炙热的液态铁构成，外壳上遍布断层与裂谷，并时常会以其下广阔的液态铁海洋形成一只巨眼。
格赫罗斯漂流于宇宙并不停地吟诵类似防空警报声的圣歌——“天体之音”，它穿过无数星体的轨道，任何栖息于这些星体的沉睡的旧支配者或外神都会被这首歌唤醒，进入活动状态——于是最常见的结果便是星体其他所有生命的毁灭，更严重的话连星体本身都将不复存在。
由于这个恐怖的性质，它被称为“前兆”、“报应”或“死星”。有人认为地球恐龙时代的物种大灭绝就是格赫罗斯所为，还有人说夏盖虫族母星——夏盖星的毁灭也是由于格赫罗斯的到来，使夜噬虫妖苏醒而造成的。
