G'huun is that huge snail we saw in the artworks. That's the blood god.

Had a similar discussion here, these were my thoughts:
We don't know how many Old Gods actually came to Azeroth, we just know that at the height of the Black Empire four Old Gods were the only ones named in the Titans campaign against them. There may have been other, less-noteworthy or fallen Old Gods (like the presumed original form of Xal'atath) that were driven into distant regions of the world or ruled over smaller, negligible kingdoms. G'huun could be one such being, unearthed and imprisoned for experimentation.
Though I also prefer the idea that G'huun was somehow produced by Titan experiments instead. Maybe they were attempting to discover how the Void Lords created the Old Gods and accidentally replicated the process.
Awesome, I hadn't seen the model. G'huun for mount!
The concept art is also awesome.
Dude there are 5 old gods. Xal'atath is the remains of one, devoured by the other 4.
Onto topic. Ghuun is already stated to be a failed experiment and not full blown old God. It was titan research into old gods and a cure for infection. The experiment broke free so the facility was put on lockdown with 3 seals... 2 have broken.
I think the Warcraft 3 manual stated that it was 5, but it was never really referred to again.
Aside from that, retconning a leak is like erasing something that never really existed in the first place.
Demonic ressurection, kinda.
But doesn't mean they should continue down that path.
If this is an full fledged old god I will roll my eyes so hard they pop out of my eye socket. Xal'atath is stretching it already
I always thought it was Xal'atath, the spriest artifact. In the little in-game book you get for your artifacts, it mentions a 5th old god as the possible origin for Xal'atath. Basically, the old gods used to fight among themselves, and Xal'atath was completed obliterated by the other 4 gods. All that remains of her is the dagger, which is a claw or tooth of her once enormous form.
I quite like that theory, especially since she is still so very destructive even though she's so much smaller now.
Come on, they already covered this hole up with knaifu, now we have a sixth Old God?
The shadowy Daughter of Urthona stood before red Orc,
When fourteen suns had faintly journey'd o'er his dark abode:
His food she brought in iron baskets, his drink in cups of iron:
Crown'd with a helmet and dark hair the nameless female stood;
My favorite potential origin for G'huun is the Titans essentially scraping together every leftover scrap and flinder of the defeated Black Empire's armies, all the severed limbs and popped eyeballs are shorn tentacles left behind by the battles with the Old Gods, and putting it all in some giant waste disposal center they built somewhere to monitor and study. And over the millennia all that discarded goop has fused together into G'huun. Uldir is the sink trap of the Titans, and G'huun is the ultimate nightmare clog that has come worming its way up the drain and is ready to overflow out into the world.
I kinda like the idea of an Old God or rather an artifical one thats even more dangerous then the ones we've seen. Kinda like experimenting on something thats already dangerous, you create something even worse.

Why new old god? What happened to old old god?
What are G'huun's followers called? G'huunies?
"He who lives without discipline dies without honor" - Viking proverb
this could give us an explanation as to why Wrathion wasnt in Legion, i imagine him on the road to start his schemes against the legion and suddenly a dreadlord appears out of nowhere and takes amanthul essence out of his body, the process is so painful and leaves wrathion so weakened that he has to leave everything he was doing and go hiding
well i completly can see they doing that
"hey guys watchers experiment don't sound cool or edgy right? lets say he is a fucking old god, it would be AWESOME!!1!"
"But boss,there is only 4 old gods, there is no more "
"it will be more from now on, gtfo"
honestly i always find stupid they decreasing de old gods numbers and his powers, made then lock rly weak in comparison before chronicles, this would be a good retcon in my view
im looking for the crocked serpent with no eyes as well, i hope it was a new old god coming from the great dark beyond and land to azeroth.

Who's to say people couldn't summon a different Old God to Azeroth like the Arakkoa did on Outland?
