The generated names often draw subtle influences from existing Lovecraftian entities or locations, but subtly morph them into something new. Here are some example names you might encounter, and the possible influences that might have led to their creation, or simply some examples of how you might incorporate these evocative names in your own narratives.

| K’tharrgon’s Rift | Combines the sound structure commonly used for ancient entities. Includes similar sounds from the word Yog-Sototh. | A geographical phenomena where reality runs thin, K’tharrgon’s Rift is a source of bizarre mutations and entities spilling into our world. |
| Ingrothian Manuscript | Combines names and references to entities that can communicate knowledge or information, it has an emphasis on the written word | The Ingrothian Manuscript, written in a forgotten language, contains rituals that can shatter the veil between the dimensions. |
