Mummu is a shapeless, ever-shifting entity that embodies the swirling chaos of the primeval sea. Its form defies consistency, appearing as a roiling mass of water, darkness, and vapor. At times, it manifests as a massive whirlpool with glowing, tentacle-like appendages that twist and ripple unpredictably. Other appearances include an amorphous cloud of mist or an enormous, undulating sphere of liquid chaos that glimmers with the faint hues of deep ocean bioluminescence. his presence exudes an otherworldly energy, warping the surrounding space with rippling distortions and erratic flickers of light and shadow.
Behaviour:
Mummu is a force of nature—unpredictable, unrelenting, and utterly indifferent to mortal concerns. It delights in disorder, reveling in the creation of turbulence and instability. He neither forms alliances easily nor acts out of malice or kindness; instead, its actions are driven by an instinctual need to maintain a state of flux and disruption. When confronted, he reacts with overwhelming force, preferring to engulf its foes in chaotic water and leave them to their fate. Despite its destructive tendencies, Mummu can be eerily calm, observing events with an inscrutable patience before unleashing its wrath.
Habitat:
Mummu resides in the abyssal depths of the ocean, where light cannot penetrate and pressure is crushing. Its primary lair is the Sunken Temple of Mummu, a colossal, ancient structure of alien design buried deep beneath the waves. The surrounding region is marked by perpetual storms, turbulent waters, and swirling vortexes. It also claims dominion over the Elemental Plane of Water, where its influence creates chaotic currents, spontaneous whirlpools, and rifts to other chaotic planes.
Modus Operandi:
Mummu operates through sudden and devastating displays of power. It manifests where chaos and water intertwine, summoning tidal waves, whirlpools, and chaotic storms to disrupt balance and order. In combat, it overwhelms opponents with its tentacles, dragging them into watery depths, or unleashes blasts of chaotic energy that rend reality itself. Mummu often uses proxies such as krakens, aboleths, and primordial elementals to sow discord and destruction. Though Mummu rarely interacts directly with mortals, its presence is marked by the appearance of strange, chaotic phenomena.
Motivation:
Mummu is the embodiment of potentiality and the raw, untamed power of chaos. It seeks to prevent stagnation, delighting in the unpredictability and constant transformation of the cosmos. Its ultimate goal is not destruction for its own sake but the preservation of a state where change and possibility reign supreme. As a primordial being, Mummu is driven by forces beyond mortal comprehension, ensuring that chaos remains an essential part of existence.
In Game
Mummu is a primordial god in Mesopotamian mythology, associated with the sea and chaos.
Mummu is an ancient Mesopotamian deity, a primordial god of the watery abyss and the chaotic forces of creation. As the embodiment of formlessness and potentiality, Mummu is said to have existed before the beginning of time itself, and to have played a key role in the creation of the world.
Mummu is often depicted as a shapeless and ever-changing entity, embodying the swirling chaos of the primeval sea. Though Mummu is rarely worshipped directly by humans, the god’s influence is felt throughout Mesopotamian mythology, where Mummu is often cited as a key player in the creation of the world and the rise of the gods.
As a god of chaos and potentiality, Mummu is motivated by a deep desire to see the world remain in a state of flux and change. It delights in the unpredictable and the chaotic, and is said to have worked alongside the great god Tiamat to unleash the forces of chaos upon the world.
Despite their role in the creation of the world, Mummu is not typically seen as a benevolent or malevolent deity. Rather, the god is seen as a force of nature, beyond the concepts of good and evil that govern the world of mortals. It’s goals are likewise inscrutable to most mortals, as the god’s motivations are rooted in the unknowable depths of the abyss. Nonetheless, Mummu’s influence remains felt throughout Mesopotamian mythology, reminding humans of the ever-present chaos and potentiality that lies beneath the surface of the world.

Role and Lore
Mummu is not merely a creature but a force of nature. As the embodiment of chaos and the primordial sea, it serves no master and obeys no laws, its motivations inscrutable to mortal understanding. Those who invoke or confront Mummu risk not only their lives but their sanity, for its presence erodes the boundaries of reality itself.
Few deities dare approach Mummu, with even entities like Tiamat or Dagon treating it with wary respect. Mummu is often sought by those seeking to harness pure chaos, but none have succeeded without unleashing untold destruction.
Mummu’s lair lies in the deepest abyss of the Elemental Plane of Water, a swirling vortex of impossible geometry and incomprehensible beauty, accessible only to the most foolhardy or powerful adventurers.
