Canonfire!

Forgotten Realms includes a crazy amount of published material, and I find that some of it adapts well to Greyhawk.
The Cults of the Beast, which Greenwood introduced with the FR pantheon in Down to Earth Divinity (Dragon #54, 1981)are one of my fave little bits of the Realms.
For those not familiar, these are cults that worship monsters and beast spirits/gods. They are presented as being outside the ordinary range of worship in civilized lands. You find such cults among barbarians, denizens of lost cities, creepy isolated villagers, sylvan races, and secret societies.
Noble lion god, unicorn goddess, beholders, dinosaurs, a flying sword, a singing skull, demonic bear, Lolth, various Melnibonean animal gods, etc.

Greyhawk has the Earth Dragon and the Cult of the Reptile God. Any others? I'm thinking of:

1 not on the list of common gods of the Central Flanaess (the big list from the WoG box, reprinted with some additions in later materials)

2 a beast/monster or other non-humanoid thing

3 worshiped by humans, demihumans, or humanoids

4 may be a god, spirit, demon prince, concept, big monster, whatever

5 clerics or shamans or witch-doctors of the cult can cast spells

I doubt there is much to add to Rasgon's list, but I believe some reference mentions that Dragotha has a cult that worships him.
