Shoggoth by Astanael on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

__"It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train — a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter."- H. P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness_Pencil doodle on A6 sketchbook from my Great Old Ones & Their Kin series for an upcoming Elder Gods Tarot project:

Rat-thing Zoogs Serpent-Men Tcho-tchos Elder Things Mi-Go, the Fungis of Yuggoth Hunting Horrors Leng Spiders Nightgaunts Dark Young

Dhole Cthonians Great Race of Yith Ghouls Animiculi Gugs Deep Ones Chakota Flying Polyps Shoggoth

Bonus:

"I had a little shoggoth I conjured up one day I used an elder sigil So shoggoth and I play

Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth With mouths and pseudopods Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth Foul creature of the gods

One day while we were playing My monstrous pal broke free I'd dropped the elder sigil Li'l shoggy turned on me

Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth He ripped me to a shred Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth We played and now I'm dead
