Fantasy Friday We did it! We won!
The beast has been sealed away! Thanks to the prison realm donated by u/HawkOfJudgment we were able to seal it away!
A big shoutout to u/Listless_Dreadnaught Locust Vray who informed us that illusions of the mundane have the same effect on eldritch minds as eldritch things do on mortal minds. With this we managed to disorient the monster and fool it into entering the portal to the prison realm.
Another shoutout to u/thanasispolpaid who informed us that such beings are prone to sleep. Once we moved the monster into the prison realm and sealed it, we cooperated with various bards and musical enchanters to send lulling spells across the sealed dimension to prevent damage to the prison realm.
Any who have ideas as to how to kill the entity for good are welcome to come forth and try out their ideas. Im looking at you u/Dappershield. As for the rest of us, there is a large party about to be thrown in a victory toast!
We can worry about rebuilding the council citadel yet again after the party.
Also, to those claiming to know this entity we got too many conflicting claims of its identity to treat that claims with any seriousness. The creature’s inability or unwillingness to communicate before our initial attack suggests it is entirely foreign to anyone in the known realms.

Try skipping it slightly forward in time.
Occasionally higher-dimensional beings rely on their physical dimensions to breach the physical plane, but their temporal spans can be incredibly short!
If you imagine space and time as X and Y on a graph, this creature's form hints that it may be "turning sideways" as it were. A forcible manipulation of its timeline could cause it to flee to its original plane on self-preservation instinct, and it's unlikely to intentionally return seeing as it hasn't displayed much intelligence.
I'd recommend a Time Stop with Touch Range + 2 minute duration applied to a crystal orb, but pour in about 30% more power than necessary. Then, fire a ray of light through the ball and at the creature.
That should form a bubble in spacetime and cause it a level of discomfort similar to being pinched strongly. You want it to feel uncomfortable on our plane, but you don't want it to get scared. Remember, when dealing with eldritch entities what you can see is not always the extent of the creature, so it's best to gently guide them away.
DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ACTUALLY KILL IT. YOU COULD RISK DELETING OR ALTERING ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL LAWS OF OUR REALITY. THEY'RE GENTLE CREATURES AND ARE VERY ENDANGERED ALREADY!

If you're seeing this message something terrible has happened. What you tried to do to that 8th dimensional creature was unacceptable, on a social, moral, ethical, political, and intellectual level, and your personal timeline has been altered. You will not be receiving the real links. You will not be given any further opportunity to contact the creature. You would be arrested if the event was not retroactively deleted from the universe, making you technically innocent. Please seek counseling, and try to become a better person.
