Description
The Deepest Lords are the rulers of the Dagonite forces. They claim direct relation to Cthulhu and indeed several pretend to be his children in service of claiming divine agency.

Raandaii-B'nk, the so called "father-of-all-sharks" is considered an Avatar of Cthulhu by the Dagonite religion. He leads the Raandeese; Deep Ones hybridized from sharks, particularly Hammerheads.

Corpse Swimmer is the youngest of the Deepest Lords. He is a powerful necromancer and forced his way in on the back of an undead army. He can be found lurking under a vast sargassum mat filled with corpses.

Dagon is merely the latest in a line of Dagons, a title going to the oldest Deep One from a family line that draws it's origin to Cthulhu. Traditionally the Dagon would rule alongside a Hydra in a diarchy but the traditional system has been broken with Hydra's crisis of faith and retreat to Europa.

Zoth-Ommog is 70 million years old and the Deep Ones believe he is the youngest son of Cthulhu. In reality he is what happens when a Yuggya stings a T-rex. Zoth-Ommog leaves the ruling of the Deep Ones to Dagon, as he enjoys the tribute they give him but doesn't actually care what they do outside of pleasing him.

Ythogtha is actually not quite a Deep One. It is the last living Gho'ha, having survived for nearly 100 million years. He technically leads the Deepest Lords but spends most of his time sleeping in the ruins of Mu, only awakening to offer advice or decrees on vanishingly rare occasions. He is also an enemy of Lloigor and they would happily destroy him on sight.

Ghatanathoa is also considered to be a child of Cthulhu but he is not included here as it has no ability to govern the Deep Ones and would turn them all to calcified mummies if they tried to contact it.

Notes: I would have waited until after I'd posted the regular Deep Ones but I'm currently in design hell with them. I wanted to post something today and I've had this ready for a while so here they are!
Raandaii-B'nk is from the story "From the Deep and Beyond" a story I've never actually read. I only really know him from Achtung Cthulhu: Terrors of the Secret War. I like the idea that more than just humans are hybridized with Deep Ones
Corpse Swimmer (aka He-Who-Swims-With-Corpses) is a fairly boring Greater Deep one from a couple Delta Green adventures. I've given him necromantic powers to go with his evocative name.
Zoth-Ommog is my favorite Great Old One from the wider Mythos but he's intrinsically tied to the Water Elemental BS Derleth started so here he is, "demoted" to being a very old Deep One pretending to be a god.
Ythogtha is another of the Cthulhu kids created by Lin Carter. He actually has a vaguely frog like body behind that tentacled cyclops face but I chose not to draw it due to the scale difference. He's just peeking into frame here.
