Origin[]

Atlach-Nacha resembles a giant spider with an anthropomorphic face capable of some human expression. It dwells in a cave system beneath Mount Voormithadreth, in the now extinct Arctic kingdom of Hyperborea. There, it spins a great web, bridging the many caverns of the underworld together. In its original appearance in the short story "The Seven Geases", Atlach-Nacha dwelt between the lairs of Tsathoggua and the antehuman sorcerer Haon-Dor.
