Shoggoth: Spawn of the Sea By Donald Wandrei | Cthulhu Mythos

Formless protoplasm able to mock and reflect all forms and organs and processes - viscous agglutinations of bubbling cells - rubbery fifteen-foot spheroids infinitely plastic and ductile - slaves of suggestion, builders of cities - more and more sullen, more and more intelligent, more and more amphibious, more and more imitative! Great God! What madness made even those blasphemous Old Ones willing to use and carve such things? HP Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness. A shoggoth is a sentient blob of self-shaping, gelatinous flesh, something like a giant amoeba. it is some 15 feet in diameter if it shaped itself into a sphere, but larger and smaller versions exist. A shoggoth is capable of shaping itself into whatever organs or shapes it finds necessary at the moment; however, in its usual state it tends to sport a roiling profusion of eyes, mouths, and pseudopodia. The shoggoth can kill its enemies by enveloping them and generating enough suction-force to decapitate their victims. That is specifically how they fought the Elder Things during their rebellion. they first appeared in HP Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness.

DW - Donald Wandrei

Yet sleep I must, like all mortal men. And what shall I say of those darker dreams, those fantasmal processions that did not and do not correspond with any knowledge I possess? What of the city beneath the sea, all of vermillion marble and corroded bronze, in whose queerly curved geometry rest the glowing configurations of things that earth never bore? What of the whisperer in darkness, and the call of Cthulhu? I saw the seven deaths of Commoriom, and the twenty-three sleepers where Hali raises its black spires in Carcosa. Who else has witnessed the dead titans waken, or the color out of space, or the ichor of stone gods?
-From "The Lady in Gray"
