From Lexicanum: Known C'tan
Aza'gorod, the Nightbringer: The first C'tan to encounter the Necrons. Powerful enough to impress its image as that of death itself on the psyche of the younger races.
Death of Suns, enslaved by the Sautekh Dynasty. It serves as part of Gidrim's Blade of Gidrim Reclamation Legion.[43]
The Crimson God, enslaved by the Novokh Dynasty. It is commanded by the Novokh Overlord known as the Crimson King.[14]
Emberresh, the Suneater: Held captive by the Xonthar Dynasty, who use it as a weapon against their enemies.[13]
Hsiagn'la[18]
Iash'uddra, the Endless Swarm: The most reviled of the C'tan.
Kalugura, the Silent Cry: Entombed at the word of the Silent King
Llandu'gor, the Flayer: The only C'tan fully obliterated by the Necrons, in his death he cursed the Necrons with the flayer curse.
Mag'ladroth, the Void Dragon: A figure of oblivion, wanton destruction and devastation. Speculated to be the Dragon of Mars.[3]
Manubiarix - C'Tan shard contained within a black octohedron device. Currently in possession of Magos Explorator Isonovere Holt of Stygies VIII.[47]
Mephet'ran, the Deceiver: The C'tan who made the bargain to turn the Necrontyr into the Necrons.
N'phoran, the Spiral Flame[15]
Nyadra'zatha, the Burning One: A C'tan that gave the Necrons the ability to access the Webway.
Og'driada, the Arisen
Quantum Diggerlord[46]
Stardeath[11]
The Sufferer: Held captive on the Necron Tomb World of Silva Tenebris.[16]
Thyssak'lha, the Walking Blight[23]
Tsara'noga, the Outsider: A C'tan that went insane due to its consumption of other C'tan or possibly an Eldar deity.
Vesh-Kael, the Song of Oblivion[44]
Yggra'nya, the World Shaper: A C'tan whose very thoughts could break apart a planet and reshape it in a form more pleasing to him.[10]
Zarhulash, the Potentate: Used by the Necrons to power the Pharos.[17]
Zul'channec: A C'tan nearly awakened by a cabal of Crypteks[24]
Unnamed C'tan:
The C'tan rumored to be imprisoned within a satellite realm of Commorragh whose bled power lights the realm. The location of the realm is a mystery, but it is sought after by Drukhari, Alaitoc Aeldari, and ambitious Necron Overlords.[49]

I see that Quantum Diggerlord was only made up for a Rumor engine blurb on Warcom.
But I'd say this should be saved for your Metal Band name.

Strange that they've put what is very clearly a joke in this list as if it's totally an actual thing, especially as it's an out-of-universe utterly non-canon source. I don't know how they could see that name and where it was said and think it was real.

Anyone can edit these wikis. Someone probably erred on the safe side. It's worth noting that WHC has sometimes provided actually useful and serious lore, so it's not like the site itself can be dismissed out of hand. For example, if not for WHC, the roughly one paragraph of lore that each of the new 10th edition Tyranid units have would shrink to effectively nothing, since codex books themselves don't really go over each individual unit like they used to.
In this case I agree it's a joke entry, but again, anyone could have put it in. You just need an account (and, since it's lexicanum rather than the awful fandom wiki, a source to cite).

Can we be truly certain the Qauntum Diggerlord isn't a real C'Tan?
Maybe it was entombed on Angelis?

It was but then it tunneled out.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

Knowing GW they'll probably bring it back but change the spelling as a wink - Kvantim D'Grl'rdd or something.
I see they're using another name for the nightbringer.
When it and deceiver were introduced we got what I thought were the eldar names for them - Kaelis Ra and Mephet'ran.
Are we to believe that Aza'gorod is Nightbringer's necron name while Mephet'ran is the deceivers? or have we not had it revealed and are still using the eldar name?

The site does occasionally have lore in articles so it's not that itself that's the issue, it's that it's a rumour engine image, and the rumour engine is something that makes completely non-canon, out-of-universe jokes all the time, it isn't something serious.

Aza'gorod has been the Necron[ tyr] name for the Nightbringer since 5th edition.
Mephet'ran (meaning 'Messenger') has always been the necronyr name for the Deceiver, as given in the 3rd edition codex.

Interesting that they gave one Eldar name and one necron name, but not both. I wonder what the deceivers Eldar name is, I wouldn't be surprised if it has elements if cegorach's name in it.

The Eldar name for the Deceiver is "The Jackal God", but it's never actually been spelled out in Romanized Aeldari. Could be one of those situations where they just outright refuse to say the Aeldari term.

As much as I love the eldar it continually bemuses me how they conveniently have a biosphere of terran animals and organisms in their history... maybe the human conspiracy is that they're a devolved secret tribe of eldar and all the earth biosphere is actually the original eldar one? :p
