i also like how gogs (exploding out of a dude's torso aside) has by far the most whimsical appearance of the demiurges and the most :stonk:-worthy title of the group

poo poo, until your post I didn't realize she exploded out of some dude, I thought she just transformed from that appearance to her current one. That explains the gore a bit more... :gonk:

In a live-action K6BD I'd imagine Gog-Agog's entire face to be bad CG. Obvious enough to be off-putting.

Why transform when you can get a lackey to carry your parasitic worms and devour him too?

Compared to presumably the original idea of xenomorphing her way out of some poor sap, it's a much bigger power move to have a follower sacrifice his life just so you can make a cool entrance.

It kind of adds something to the terror around her, honestly, along with her title. We've seen several of the demiurges' followers now - Mottom's are motivated by the power structure she heads, Mammon's are motivated by pity for the (apparent) gentle giant, Incubus' are in it out of addiction to the self-actualisation he gives them, and as far as we know Solomon David doesn't really have followers so much as citizens just seeking a peaceful/prosperous life.
So what motivates Gog-Agog's followers, such that one might willingly and enthusiastically be torn apart by her for her whimsy?

Given her thing is media entertainment, I have a feeling she's less into cults and more into freaky game shows where the losers are subjected to horrific punishments (and the winners get worse).

I'm not sure we have confirmation her worms thing is something known by the general population though?

Possibly. I could also see a sort of nihilistic cult of despair - gonna get devoured by worms anyway, might as well go crazy with it, that sort of thing.
An old tumblr answer described Gog-Agog as the entertainment maven of Throne, so presumably her folks can put on a hell of a show.

That was definitely a flesh and blood person. The evidence for that is now quite widespread.

A human body, yes. I don't think we have enough information about the state of their central nervous system to call them a person.

I was oblivious to the whole exploding out of underling thing and now I'm hoping there's a way for Gog-agog to put on some matryoshkan gore show where whoever fighting her thinks they've got her beat gets depressed knowing they're nowhere close to her final form.

There's probably a horrifying reason for all the little holes throughout her outfit, and especially the strange looking hat. It actually reminds me of a praying mantis' head.

This. Who's Throne's Peter Sagal, though? I assume Bobcat Goldthwait just lives in Throne already, so at least they have one panelist.

Especially since they're all worms. Although Allison did send actual TEETH flying when she socked Gog, so maybe some of the worms actually transform into non-worm objects like bells and clothes and that staff.

Yeah, and if they're voluntary followers and not just infected, that makes her even scarier since it means that she's someone a large number of people deem worth following.
