Hoarmorath is the shark god of the sahuagin fish-people inhabiting the K'Tawl Swamp near the village of Stillben. A group of sahuagin there called the Ghormauth were seen worshiping this god, which had a sahuagin-like upper body, but with horns on its head and with tentacles instead of legs.[1]
In Issue 2 of Vox Machina Series I, which is set prior to the formation of Vox Machina, Grog Strongjaw, Scanlan Shorthalt, and several others were in an underground temple to the god, where they encountered a bell on a boulder. Scanlan succumbed to the temptation to ring the bell, causing the boulder to animate into a giant frog that croaked, "Hoarmorath!" before pursuing them. Grog noted that was the name of the shark god that a group of sahuagin shamans they had passed had been chanting, and Scanlan deduced that the shark-god temple was constructed atop an even older "frog-god temple".
Both the frog and the sahuagin were eventually defeated in the ensuing battle. Afterwards, the group retrieved the ruby eyes of the statue of the god and stole the treasure within the temple.[1]
