Necoho is a renegade Chaos god in the fictional universe of Warhammer Fantasy.

"Necoho the Doubter" appeared in the fourth volume of The Enemy Within campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Something Rotten in Kislev (1988) along with the renegade Chaos God Zuvassin. Both gods were originally intended to be Malal, who was impossible to use due to unclear ownership of the rights. As such, these gods filled the void left when Malal had to be replaced. Though it has been theorized that these two gods are the minor aspects of Malal, and represent the dual sides of Malal's symbol.

Necoho's Chaotic nature manifests itself in a contradiction which should logically make his existence impossible. He is a deity who stands against the whole idea of gods and religion. Needless to say, this means that his following is extremely small, even for an obscure Renegade Chaos God, and his name is only found in the oldest and most obscure of forbidden tomes. No doubt, this is the way Necoho likes it. As might be expected, Necoho almost never manifests himself in the physical world; if he does so he will take the form of a short plump old human man, with a permanent expression of ironic amusement.

Necoho has no known symbol.

As far as is known, Bolgasgrad, a town in Kislev, is the only place in the Old World where Necoho is worshipped. Certainly it seems (from what little is known) that Necoho is as opposed to the idea of temples as he is to the idea of deities.

Necoho is generally opposed to all other cults of all kinds, although it is suspected that from time to time he may help one cult or hinder another if doing so would undermine the cult's credibility or status among its mortal followers.
