Other posters mentioned the Spelljammer lore, so I'll just add that the 4E Underdark book briefly described a fallen mindflayer civilization called Nihilath that, during the course of its history, drove three separate races to extinction through overexploitation. IIRC they also began cultivating...

Yeah, that was the idea. IIRC one 4E publication said something along the lines of "though he created the dwarves and is often depicted as one, Moradin is a god, not a dwarf". There were also occasional references to atypical representations of gods, such as a minotaur version of Bahamut.

Ioun is a goddess, but she assumes a humanoid form like a lot of others do. Tharizdun is just really bizarre and doesn't take a definite shape. Here's another image from the same book with Pelor looking at another form Tharizdun has taken:

For those curious, this is how Erathis, Melora, Ioun, and Tharizdun are represented in official Critical Role art (since none of them were visually represented in 4E materials):

One of the weirdest details to me is that, of the 4E original deities, only the Raven Queen and Torog were ever visually depicted in that edition. The Critical Role equivalents of Erathis, Ioun, and Melora are depicted in Tal'dorei Campaign Setting Reborn, but still nothing for Avandra and Zehir.

The original 4E lore for the Raven Queen was that she was a mortal who was claimed by the god of death as his queen and slew him to usurp godhood. The other deities intervened since the last god of death had been a tyrant who collected the souls of the dead, so to limit her power they made it so...
