“	I am Huntokar, I am the destroyer	”
	— Huntokar

Huntokar is the god of Night Vale, and the Destroyer of the world.

Huntokar having created Night Vale was forgotten, and people of the city only knew her as the god of the mysterious tiny civilization.

Her existence was only speculated until the discovery of the civilization, before the war with the tiny civilization, and she is mentioned several times in the podcast. Despite her affiliation to the underground city, Huntokar tends to intervene in the "upper-world", and has a great connection with it.

Origins and Creation of Night Vale

Huntokar is eternal and predates the reality itself. At the beginning she existed in the mudwomb, among other gods, such as the Woman from Italy, the Distant Prince and Glow Cloud. After reality came to being, Huntokar spent 10,000 years sitting in a lake. Believing herself to be the only "good" god, she wanted to protect and nurture humans. This is the reason that when she got to the empty desert, she stayed and created Night Vale. The people of the city worshiped her by wearing soft meat crowns and building bloodstone circles. By the years the people of Night Vale forgot Huntokar, and never thought whon they are worshiping to, despite Huntokar's repeated messages.

The mistake

Huntokar loved her version of Night Vale very much, even if for anyone else it was just an ordinary town with no significance. She felt she was not only the creator of the town, but also its protector. When the world was ending in 1983 as a result of nuclear missiles getting launched because of a misunderstanding, she decided to save the town by separating it from the rest of the world. In doing so, she shattered reality and all possible versions of Night Vale started to collapse into one another .

Existence and Discovery

Cecil assumed the tiny underground civilization worships Huntokar long before it was known for sure. In fact, he speculated her existence (including her name) before there was a proof or even a sign the city exists. He did so due to Teddy Williams's security camera footage from the Desert Flower Bowling Alley and Arcade Fun Complex of blurry shapes that could easily be mere rats or raccoons but were taken as a proof to the existence of the underground city.

The Underground City

Huntokar seems at first to protect the the tiny underground civilization, and resents the theft of of small buildings from the underground city, which are later being put on crates. Despite that fact, she apparently did great harm to the people of the city, who call her "The Destroyer" after supposedly having taken their sky.

Citizens of the Underground City believe that Huntokar is responsible for the Change, which caused their sky (along with the sun, the moon and the stars) to disappear and cut their city from the rest of the world. They also believe this to be their own fault as the Huntokar supposedly did this to punish them, although it is unclear what their transgression was.

One possible reason she cares so much for both the Underground City and Night Vale are that they are both versions of the town she created, tried to save, and ultimately destroyed.

Mentions and Effects On The Upper-World

The name of Huntokar appears on roaches: first on one that Cecil found after his encounter on the 12:37 train and then on one given out as a part of a Night Vale Transit Authority's press release concerning reopening of the subway. The same episode, Huntokar claims to be "the Destroyer", and speaks against taking small buildings from the underground city and putting them on crates. This is the same nickname given to her by Simone Rigadeau in Ash Beach, referring to her destroying the world in 1983, as well as the nickname used by the people of the tiny underground city.

Huntokar is referred to as "The Destroyer" also by Rigadeau, after her false memory, created by the beings of Ash Beach. In the "memory", that backs up Rigadeau's theory that the world ended in 1983, Huntokar is seen blurred on the TV screen, wearing a deer mask, while the news anchors report the end of the world. Rigadeau says it did not understand what did the woman say, but she saw the figure was wearing a deer mask, and she knew her name- Huntokar.

In Cal, someone scribbled out with charcoal the broadcast calendar, and wrote "A Story About Huntokar". This weird instance, as well as Cecil's own suspicions, may imply she is somehow linked to the holes in reality.
