Yokoth was a goddess from another reality.

History

Together with her mate Glythur, Yokoth consumed most of their universe. They were also the parents of "faceless hordes."

In 1925, rogue Man of Letters Diego Avila and the Men of Letters in the Portsmouth, Rhode Island chapter house performed a ritual to open a portal to Yokoth's universe.

Yokoth passed through the Rift and possessed the body of a kidnapped woman named Sandy Porter. After possessing Sandy's body, which killed Sandy in the process, Yokoth devoured Diego and most of the other Men of Letters before trying to summon her mate, Glythur. The survivors managed to close the rift Diego opened and bind Yokoth before she could succeed.

In the aftermath, the Men of Letters disavowed the entire incident, banned all the survivors, and sealed the chapter house. Unable to kill Yokoth, the survivors and their descendants, led by Diego's family, worked to keep Yokoth sealed up.

In 2018, Yokoth pretended to be Sandy when the hunters Sam and Dean Winchester found and released her.

After Sam and Dean bring "Sandy" to a diner, Sam is captured by Marco and Ophelia Avila, and they reveal to him the truth about Yokoth and how their family was guarding her. At that moment, Yokoth captures Dean and brings him to the bunker that she was held in.

When Dean woke up, Yokoth explained that the real Sandy had been dead for a long time, and then revealed her true name. She explained her past as god from another world and how her mate, Glythur, was trapped there after she came through. She revealed that she abducted Dean so she could reopen the rift between universes and give Glythur a vessel so that they could devour all the worlds in Dean's universe. Dean protested, but Yokoth silenced him and performed the ritual to reopen the rift, and then performed a Summoning Spell for Glythur.

Yokoth watched with glee as Glythur's tentacles emerged through the rift and attempted to latch onto a horrified Dean, who attempted to dodge the tentacles but struggled due to being chained down. Before Glythur could fully restrain Dean with his tentacles, Sam arrived with Marco and Ophelia, and the three and attacked Yokoth. While Yokoth was distracted, Dean managed to free his right hand, snatch the Seal of Solomon from her, and toss it to Ophelia, who used the seal to reverse the spell.

Yokoth shows dismay at Glythur being prevented from entering, but she quickly becomes fearful as Glythur uses a tentacle to drag Yokoth back into their universe, and she screams as the rift closes behind her.

In 2020, God begins destroying all other universes. Billie eventually informs Dean that God has destroyed all of the alternate universes, meaning that Yokoth and Glythur's world is gone and that they died with it.

She's revived by Jack, after he defeated God.

Powers and Abilities

Yokoth was an incredibly powerful goddess from an alternate reality.

Yokoth possessing Sandy Porter.

• Possession - Yokoth needed a vessel to manifest in the Main Universe. She possessed the body of Sandy Porter.
• Reality Warping - Yokoth, along with Glythur destroyed most of their universe by consuming it.
• Immortality - As a goddess, she was immortal. After living in the Main Universe for nearly a century, her vessel had not aged at all.
• Indestructibility - Yokoth could not be destroyed with even nearly a century of trying and failing to find a weakness. Being shot simply distracted her for a moment and caused no visible harm.
• Super Strength - Yokoth was incredibly strong and easily overpowered any humans who fought her.
• Biokinesis - Yokoth was able to prevent Dean Winchester from being able to talk when she got tired of hearing him simply by putting her finger to his lips and shushing him.
• Portal Creation - Using a ritual, Yokoth was able to open a rift into her own universe.
• Nigh-Omniscience - Yokoth knew the exact procedure for the ritual used to summon her, from the spell to the items required despite the Men of Letters doing all of this before she even arrived. While she captured Dean, she knew about secret chambers where the Men of Letters kept items for the summoning ritual. She also appeared to know a lot about the universe despite her limited time in it, most of it being locked away for a century, commenting it was "full of light, and of life".
  • Omnilingualism - Despite being from another universe, Yokoth was able to speak perfect Latin when preforming a spell to open a rift.

Weaknesses

• Magic - Yokoth was bound by chains etched with spellwork.
• Higher Beings - Glythur was effortlessly able to pull her back into their universe, despite her protests. Much later, God destroyed her whole reality, along with Yokoth herself.
• Starvation - As mentioned by Ophelia Avila, Yokoth was kept in a weakened state after a century of being starved.

Trivia

• The name Yokoth bears curious, if not intentional similarity with Yog-Sothoth, the name of a cosmic entity in H. P. Lovecraft's mythology, an author who also inspired and was homaged in the show on many other occasions. Lovecraft's mythos on the Old Ones was interpreted by the show to pertain to the Leviathan.
• The name Yokoth bears curious, if not intentional similarity with Yuggoth, a name for everything that exists beyond our Solar System in H. P. Lovecraft's mythology.
• Stuart Ansley, the VFX artist who created the creature, refers to her as a "Tentacle Monster" in his portfolio.
• It is unknown if Yokoth and Glythur were created by God himself, since they are from another universe, and the Deities from the Main Universe were created to take the blame of the misfortunes of humanity. So if God did create Yokoth and Glythur his motives are unknown.
• Yokoth and Glythur are the most powerful Deities featured on the show, both have the power to destroy universes as Yokoth mentioned that most of their universe had been consumed by them.
