THE DIRE GOLDFISH (Warlock Patron)
Once upon a time you had a dream, and in this dream you realized the Gawds were indeed crazy. More importantly, they were prone to drunken ragers, wherein they did many foolish things. And you dreamed that a Gawd took pity upon a poor goldfish in it's bowl, seemingly condemned to a short life of misery. So the Gawd set the goldfish free, and granted it immortality. The other Gawds didn't get the joke, until they realized he'd set it free into the Elemental Plane of Water. Goldfish continue to grow with age, but limit their growth in accord with their environs. Now, millennia later, the Goldfish is miles in circumference, and more of a roving geographical feature than a creature.
You see it in your dreams at night. It's vast, gleaming, squamous bulk. It's mindlessly cheerful, unblinking eyes. And you wonder to yourself "Am I dreaming the Goldfish, or is it dreaming me?" On the plus side ever since you began having nightmares about a Goldfish large enough to blot out the Sun, you've gained ever increasing magical powers. Screw sleep, you can blast stuff now! Well, at least as long as you don't make the Goldfish sad. Then the nightmares turn up to 11.
Plus, there are the conspiracy theorists and religious weirdos who constantly try to involve you in their nonsense. "The Goldfish will usher in a new era of terror after it devours the Gawds." The Goldfish could be an inexhaustible food source." "The Goldfish is responsible for my grandmothers gout." You generally eldritch blast the lot f them.
