Shoggoths are terrifying amorphous creatures, originally created as slaves of the elder beings. Distinguished by their protoplasmic flexibility and countless, shifting eyes, they can form any organ or limb as needed.
While not cosmic entities, they’re nonetheless feared for their immense size, relentless nature, and their echoing shriek of “tekeli-li."
