Summary
Formless Oedon (姿なきオドン Sugata-naki Odon) is a formless Great One who has transcended the other Great Ones to the point that he no longer has a physical body, but has a voice and can influence the physical world. He is very powerful and has become sort of "timeless", thus potentially making him the most powerful, yet the most indirect, of the Great Ones. He is also the only Great One explicitly referred to as male, with all the others' genders either female or undefined. Oedon is the Great One who impregnated Queen Yharnam to give birth to Mergo.

- Madness Manipulation (Type 3 - Merely looking at Great Ones or hearing their incomprehensible voices causes one to go insane)
- Curse Manipulation (Curses are the result of inciting the anger of Great Ones[6]. Even after the death of her physical body, Kos was able to maintain a perpetual curse over The Hunter's Nightmare[7])
- Invisibility (Great Ones and Kin are completely invisible to those lacking Insight, or knowledge of their existence)
- Pocket Reality Manipulation (Due to being superior to the likes of Amygdala, Kos, Mergo, and the Moon Presence, Oedon should have the same capacity to create a pocket reality)
- Power Bestowal (Great Ones are capable of granting mortals an array of supernatural powers, up to and including ascending them into Kin)
- Mind Manipulation (Great Ones can impact human thoughts and actions without the humans' knowledge[8])

Range: Planetary (Should have range comparable, if not superior, to the Moon Presence and Mergo)
Standard Equipment: None
Intelligence: At least Genius (Great Ones possess wisdom about reality and the Eldritch Truth that the Choir, Byrgenwerth scholars, The Healing Church, and the School of Mensis combined were never able to achieve without going collectively mad, devolving into beasts, mutating into nightmarish abominations, or becoming brain dead. Their level of Insight is such that they are described as thinking on higher planes of thought and transcending the human mind entirely, and Oedon is said to be above the other Great Ones)
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks and Techniques:
- Frenzy: A status effect that is the result of a target being forced to process information incomprehensible to humans, such as information about the Great Ones, Eldritch Truth, or Cosmos. This effect is a twofold form of damage, as when this occurs to a living being they will rapidly devolve into utter madness mentally, while physically their blood will begin to violently erupt out of various random points on their body as spears of solidified Frenzied Coldblood.
