Dibrasgorth
Dibrasgorths, sometimes called Mothers of Oblivion, are monstrous creatures of chaos who dwell in lightless spaces, often near the bottom of deep lakes and oceans both above and underground. They may look like hideous monsters with heads like a plesiosaur atop masses of tentacles, each tipped with a baleful red eye, but dibrasgorths have a twisted sense of cunning, likely due to their ability to see into and affect planes other than the one where they stand. Though they are quite powerful (with some the favored servants of Lamashtu), dibrasgorths prefer to keep their existence a secret from the mortals of the world above.Recall Knowledge - Aberration (Occultism): DC 33

While in the Universe, its tentacle Strikes ignore all cover from objects unless those objects exist on both the Universe and either the Netherworld or the Ethereal Plane, or the objects have the extradimensional trait.
The Myth Of Black Magga
Varisian locals who live near the Storval Deep, an enormous freshwater lake on the Storval Plateau, tell tales of Black Magga, a powerful and unholy dibrasgorth rumored to be older than the gods. They say that terrible storms presage her appearance near the lake's surface, and that those who see her form and live are cursed to be unable to completely describe her, with black blood welling in their mouth if they make the attempt.
