Origin 

Hoggoth is a powerful entity and like Oshtur and Agamotto is a member of the Vishanti. Less is documented about him than the others within the Vishanti and many of the spells that entreat him seem to be alliterative ie: The Hook of Hoggoth, The Hand of Hoggoth, The Hounds of Hoggoth and the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth though there are others such as the Mists of Hoggoth. 
 

Creation 

 Hoggoth is first mentioned in Strange Tales Vol 1 #116 written by Stan Lee and drawn by Jack Kirby.
