Description:
This image is a ventral view of one of the Elder Spawn, the so-called “Biolords”
of the Star Spawn. This is the Master Scientist and Vizier caste of this species. Intellectually brilliant, yet
wholly subservient to the will of the Great Old Ones, these beings are masters of arcane
knowledge and Dark Science who are thought to have created the Shoggoths and other
unnamable technologies. When standing upright on their powerful locomotive tendrils, they are
about as tall as a tall human, and are sometimes even seen about the village covered in long
cloaks, remarkably eschewing the traditional cloak of shadows worn by their brethren. They
swim with graceful speed and fluidity.
The script reads in Old Quasi-Latin:
“Behold the NUNGALZIATUZUA, who are the true SHARAGHUL.
Behold the NUNGALZIATUZUA, who are Masters of the Dark Knowledge, and creators of
arcane technology.
These blessed, ascendant beings are the creators of the Holy Mask of Temperance, and are
responsible for the great Gates into the Outer Darkness.
Heed them well, for they are bringers of the great Blessing of the SHARAGHUL.
Hail NUNGALZIATUZUA
Hail SHARAGHUL”
