Dibs on R'lyeh.

Psitticine, could you give me some info on R'lyeh in Dom II? I especially want to know about hybrids, holy units, and the site that allows the summoning of elder things. Also someone mentioned an Ancient Kraken pretender that can recover from battle afflictions, what are it's stats?

My editing partner, the Bionic Giraffe, has played much more of R'lyeh than I have, so I think I'll let her answer this one.

From hence speaketh the Giraffe (Iä! Iä!):

You can send mages into the Void Gate to summon random beings from the Void. There is a good variety of things that can be summoned, some of which are very useful and powerful, but sometimes the summoned creatures attack and kill the mage who summoned them. Also, there is a chance that the mage's mind will be fried. If that happens, he can't cast spells, so he becomes of little use except for cannon fodder. I recommend sending Star Children into the Void Gate, because if their minds are fried, you can still use them as scouts.

Hybrids are the result of the mating of a human female with a Deep One. You normally do not have access to Hybrid Soldiers or Hybrid Lords unless you conquer a province that borders the ocean, and then recuit from that province. These are pre-set units; you don't get to crossbreed them yourself.

R'lyeh has no holy units...or mounted units.

The Ancient Kraken has 230 hit points and is cold and poison resistant, but does not regenerate. It is somewhat limited, since it cannot leave the sea.

Hope this answers your questions!
