Azathoth is absolutely mindless and unconscious but is omnipotent and the most powerful being of all. He created all of existence as part of his dream and is not even aware of it.

Azathoth is said to be stuck in an endless slumber and is tended upon by horrendous dancers and is served upon by countless lesser deities that play a maddening tune on innumerable drums and flutes to keep Azathoth from awakening, for if he should awaken even for a few moments all of existence is said to be doomed as it will signal the ultimate destruction of existence as we know it.

He is said to float in the very centre of the universe or in the centre of chaos itself, no mortal has yet entered this realm and survived and judging by the visions spoken of by H.P. Lovecraft and later writers it is doubtful that any who did would wish to continue living, as Azathoth held the same insanity-inducing aura as the other Lovecraftian horrors despite it being deep in slumber.

Azathoth cannot be destroyed as the concept of destruction is merely his dream, and he exists beyond the concept of speed, strength, mortals and the Outer Gods as they are all merely part of his dream. Despite being mindless, Azathoth does have a will of his own and commands his messenger and avatar, Nyarlathotep.
