Y is for Yog-Sothoth

Yog-Sothoth was first introduced in the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness continuity in 2005's Army of Darkness vs Re-Animator. In this series Ash is a special patient of Dr. Herbert West after being tried for the aftermath of his misadventures. West is working with Wilbur Whately to use the Necronomicon to unleash the Old Ones. Yog-Sothoth is named as one of them. The mythos gods would also return in Evil Dead 2: Dark Ones Rising. Giving stats to Yog-Sothoth doesn't make sense, given what it is, it should be noted that as a Dark One, the entity can be damaged by the Kandarian Dagger (known as the Back Stabber in the Army of Darkness core book). I would also rule that the Spear of Destiny, being created from the "flesh" of the Watcher, can also damage it.
