The original writer is Khisanth the Ancient?

Yes, I shot him a message to see of he had the stats but I don't think he's been on here for a long time. You could try to find one of Apepsnake's less ludicrous creations and use that too.

REALM

You create a layer akin to a metropoly populated by humans.
Hazards: Those not of human blood are likely to be asked to leave (unless invited there by the immortal themselves) and forcefully extradited if needs be.
Inhabitants: Humans are attracted to this place and may be coerced into joining the immortal’s retinue if their alignments are similar.

Human Template (Single Portfolio)

Appearance: The immortal’s manifestation looks like the quintessential human ideal.
NB. When the immortal adopts a different form (through Shapechanging or Wildshape for instance), this trait is also adopted.
Behavior: These immortals seems blatantly engaged in devising something new, even if in reality they are paying attention to everything that happens around them.

Human Template (Double Portfolio)

Appearance: These immortal’s look like some sort of human ideal. The men looking like ideal specimens of masculine ideals, and the women looking like fitness models
Behavior: These immortals are unconcerned with the affairs of other races and will be as ignorant and dismissive of them as they are interested and welcoming to the humans.

Any idea what the opposite race for humans would be? I know for Wastri it's just any non-human humanoids, but what would it be for, say, Aroden?

For Aroden (Aroden - PathfinderWiki) i will say Alghollthu (the Aboleth) for the destruction of Azlant (Alghollthu - PathfinderWiki)

Is this because he refers to her as the "Shark of Worlds"? I always interpreted that as metaphorical, although who knows.

To be honest the Ancient Ones, or any of Apep's stuff with like a billion hit dice are worthless in my opinion as a party of players, no matter how long they play could ever get to that point, it has what like 8 million hit dice? Highlord Stage 80,000?

I made my campaign's Supreme Being, Thychen, Highlord Stage 72 on purpose as I wanted the players to be able to interact with the being on a more dynamic level at some point theoretically. I could have made him Highlord Stage a Billion, but if there's no way to actually get there, it becomes statistical masturbation at a certain point. There's no point to statting something if it's stats are just infinity signs, it's hit dice are infinity signs, and it's Divine Ranks are infinity signs as well, like what's the point? When is it ever going to be used beyond some Deus Ex Machina way?

Imo, Bythos is a good place to start and go downward in dice from there, otherwise the stat block won't ever be used by anyone in any real meaningful way.

Sure, obviously it's just a metaphor, but a shadow shark eating universes is damn epic.

Challenge accepted, I will create 2 version, the first version as Ancient One only for my pleasure of BIG numbers, the other version reduced to little more of Tychen level for all.
