Gods

The Gods are one of the people found throughout the Dark Souls series.

Lore
After the manifestation of the First Flame, a race of towering humanoids was born. They came from the Darkness, much like human beings, but their essence changed forever when three powerful individuals found the Souls of Lords within the flame. Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, the Witch of Izalith and Nito, the First of the Dead: these three beings thus became the first and most powerful of the Gods; the Lords. It is implied that each of the gods of Anor Londo contains a piece of the Light Soul of Gwyn. As a race, size is incredibly varied, though the males of the Gods' kin are usually tall (a common Silver Knight has twice the height of a human), while the females usually appear to be the same size. Their bodies are also radically different and varied, as Gwyndolin had multiple tentacled legs, while Gwynevere was larger than her father. Since they contain shards of the Light Soul, they became strongly attuned to the First Flame. Conversely, they grew weak as it faded, and were highly susceptible to the dark energy of the Abyss. In the third game, the preset of Irithyllian is described as having the features of the old gods, implying that they recently commenced breeding with humans. This preset includes a natural smile, and has white skin like Gwyndolin, though with the height and dark nature that human beings often possess. Members of this race are taken to live in Irithyll, built upon the ruins of the city of the gods, possibly to be closer to their pure kin of gods.

Dark Souls III
By this time, the only remaining gods are Gwyndolin, Smough and Yorshka. When Gwyndolin fell ill, Yorshka took command of the Darkmoon Knights. After the sorcerer Sulyvahn arrived in the ruined city, he declared himself Pontiff, and created the city of Irithyll in the ruins of Anor Londo. He then attempted to capture the remaining gods for Aldrich to consume, but Gwyndolin allowed himself to be captured so that Yorshka was saved, though she ended up imprisoned atop her church. When Aldrich arrived, he ascended to Anor Londo, where Gwyndolin awaited him. Due to the fact you receive Smough's armor upon killing Aldrich, it seems likely that he was consumed before Gwyndolin, whose dead body is manifested to combat intruders.
