The Old Ones are a species of every deity like being within the Lovecraft mythos. While normal pagan deities could have a variety of appearances, they are usually grounded in reality, no matter how crazy their appearance could get. Old Ones however have more chaotic appearances, whether it is a blob with eyes and mouths, a man with an octopus head and dragon wings, are completely made out of tentacles, or if they are completely indescribable.
While pagan deities are representations of certain elements of humans or nature, at best Old Ones would represent concepts like time or reality, while their are many love deities, nature deities, and sky deities, there are very few if any Old Ones that would even be related to these elements.
Pagan Deities are human in nature, not necessarily evil like demons, and not necessarily good like angels, deities are more closer to neutral, however most gods are benevolent. Old Ones are usually amoral, which leads them to terrorize humans, a good exception to this is Kthanid.
