![]() ![]() Taramis was horrified as her "beautiful" god arose as a gigantic, reptilian beast. Immediately, the statue began to transform from a handsome man into a hideous, and very organic, horned beast as the Scrolls of Skelos feared. The ritual was interrupted by Conan's companions when Zula killed Xantares with her spear before he could slit Jehnna's throat. An enraptured Taramis ordered Xantares to kill her niece. Taramis also decides to have own niece Princess Jehnna to serve as virgin for the ritual.Īfter Taramis tricks Conan and his group into finding the horn, Jehnna, induced into obedience by drinking drugged wine, placed the horn into the Dagoth's forehead. At least, this is what Taramis and her granda vizier Xantares assumed, since they believed that if they completed the sacrifice, Dagoth would be under their control. ![]() The horn is placed into the statue's forehead.Īs written in the ancient Scrolls of Skelos, if Dagoth's horn were found and replaced in the forehead of the statue, it would bring about the evil god's resurrection, and as long as a virgin girl was sacrificed at the hour of the god's rebirth, everything would be fine. She would often make love to it, or bathe it in the blood of her virgin handmaidens. At other times, the Queen insisted on keeping it in her private quarters where she could be alone with it. It was kept in the main anteroom of the palace where Taramis' followers could worship it. Somehow, the statue was acquired by Taramis. Dagoth fell to Earth in a weakened state and his body turned into stone, becoming a statue of a handsome human male with a hole in his forehead. ![]() Centuries before mankind, Dagoth participated in a large battle with other gods, during which his source of power, a jeweled horn, was broken off. In the film, he was a deity worshiped by the people of Shadizar, particularly Queen Taramis (the supposed main antagonist of the film). Dagoth attacked Strange, who gathered the ambient magic and used it to banish Dagoth to some unnamed dimension, never to return.ĭagoth, also referred to as the Dreaming God, is the main antagonist in the 1984 fantasy film, Conan the Destroyer. Strange again sensed the activities and Dagoth, and opposed him, freeing the people from their trance, so they could swim to safety at the surface. This involved their walking into the sea, where they would drown beneath its waves in the journey. Under Dagoth's control, they attempted to enter the city of Kalumesh to become sacrifices to Shuma-Gorath. That night, Dagoth summoned Blondine to activate the Starstone, which sent the people of Penmallow into a trance. ![]() Strange created of an illusion of himself, which Dagoth attacked and seemingly strangled, but then found himself bound by the Rings of Raggadorr as Strange escaped with Gordon and Blondine. Strange was flying overhead (on a mission to locate evidence of Shuma-Gorath at Stonehenge) at the time, sensed Dagoth's power, and flew beneath the waves to save them. However, they also found Dagoth, who attacked the two. This stimulated Gordon's interest, and he and the house's caretaker, Blondine, used scuba gear to investigate and locate the sunken city of Kalumesh. He somehow attracted the attention of Dagoth, who apparently entered the manor and left the Starstone to be found outside of the nearby Tower of Dagoth. Henry Gordon inherited the manor of Witch House and read of the legends of Dagoth. The city came to rest at the ocean floor, outside what would be Cornwall, England.ĭagoth apparently escaped the confines of the city of Kalumesh at some point, and was rumored to have inhabited the depths of the waters outside Penmallow, Cornwall. All who worshiped Dagoth died beneath the smothering waves. Dagoth himself was overwhelmed and buried as the city collapsed on him. Eventually the city was buried beneath the sea by monstrous waves which rose upward and smote the evil city. The citizens of that city served his every need and performed many bloody sacrifices in his name. In centuries or millennia past, Dagoth was worshiped as high priest in the city of Kalumesh. At some point, under unknown circumstances, he became a servant of the extra-dimensional demon Shuma-Gorath. Dagoth is a member of the second class of demons, who may be fallen or degenerate gods, but date from far later generations. ![]()
