  • Matter Manipulation
  • Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1)
  • Telepathy, Dream Manipulation, Dimensional Manipulation & Dimensional Travel (able to summon the Gate through a ritual by joining their dreams and allowing explorers to pass through its threshold using the Silver Key)

  • Biological Manipulation (Impregnated a Lavinia Whateley, who then gave birth to two partially-human children, one of them being The Dunwich Horror)
  • Paraconsistent Physiology (Type 2 - As the chief of the Archetypes, Yog-Sothoth exists in the highest level of reality, the "All-in-One and One-in-All" and true oneness of existence that "belies all local perspectives and partial views" and the multiplicity that comes of them, abolishing and trivializing distinction and making everything identical)
  • Likely Madness Manipulation (Types 2 & 3 - Should be comparable to its lesser brethren, of which Hypnos merely viewing the visage of the Ultimate Gods drew him to complete insanity and horror)
