I know its unoriginal, but i shall rip straight from wikipedia!
Chattur'gha is the Ancient God of Strength and powers of the Flesh. He is presented in the game as a being of raw physical power and having relatively little intelligence or imagination. His voice is low, guttural, and can occasionally seem to have more than one tone at a time, thus at first-glance he may appear to be the most intimidating of the three Ancients. He is a long red being with lobster-like pincers and a triple jaw, and the artifact containing his Essence is the Claw of Chattur'gha– resembling a red-clawed worm with an aura of violence around it. He and his minions are characterized by a harsh blood-red color, great strength, and regenerative capabilities. Chattur'gha's immense physical power gives him an advantage over Xel'lotath, whose madness does not affect the mindless, but his focus on pure force leaves him unable to defend against the magicks of Ulyaoth.
lyaoth is the Ancient God of Magick. He is characterized by great wisdom and patience. His observations of the multiverse are deceptively calm and detached, as his intentions toward humanity are monstrous. His appearance is that of an enormous jellyfish with bony plating over its bell and tentacles, and his Essence inhabits the Veil of Ulyaoth, a bluish dome with sharp arms or talons curving downward. He and all things associated with him–his servants, artifacts, etc–appear as cool, ghostly blue, and have delicate tentacles (or legs) that float downward. Ulyaoth's sway over the fabric of the universe gives the plotting, scheming god an advantage against the brutish Chattur'gha, who relies on pure physical force. Due to Ulyaoth's focus on building mental faculties, he is susceptible to the madness induced by Xel'lotath.
Xel'lotath is the Ancient Goddess of Madness. Of the three Ancients Alex must battle, she appears to have a much deeper knowledge and understanding of the universe, and is much more aware of the other Ancients' plans. This extreme knowledge seems to take a toll on her sanity, however, and she is hesitant to depend on or trust anyone– even her human servants. The very sight of her is maddening; she is a strange, pinkish being with four arms surrounding a single great eye and a tail trailing behind her; and the vessel of her Essence is the Sigil of Xel'lotath, an impossible artifact resembling a warped angel. All things in her domain are characterized by the aura of madness and an insipid green color; many of her monstrous creations have no heads, signifying that they are under total control of her madness. Xel'lotath's infectious madness gives her an advantage over the scheming Ulyaoth, who relies on careful planning; but she is easily overwhelmed by the sheer strength of Chattur'gha.
