"Yuggoth... is a strange dark orb at the very rim of our solar system... There are mighty cities on Yuggoth—great tiers of terraced towers built of black stone... The sun shines there no brighter than a star, but the beings need no light. They have other subtler senses, and put no windows in their great houses and temples... The black rivers of pitch that flow under those mysterious cyclopean bridges—things built by some elder race extinct and forgotten before the beings came to Yuggoth from the ultimate voids—ought to be enough to make any man a Dante or Poe if he can keep sane long enough to tell what he has seen..."
—H. P. Lovecraft, The Whisperer in Darkness (1930)
YUGGOTH, Scion of AZATHOTH
Supreme Subdimensional Entity
|
True Name:
DUMGAL ZI is written in Psionic above, preceding the name of an ancient and powerful Interdimensional Entity: AZATHOTH. DUM translates to 'Child', while GAL elevates child to greatness, implying scion or prince. ZI is the conjunction of or in, and the name of the Entity follows. Thus we have the Prince of AZATHOTH.
Size:
The main body of these beings is approximately a thousand miles in diameter, although the
being can expand to many times this size, if necessary, to swallow large celestial bodies in order
to absorb mass and energy. The dozens of twisted towers that protrude from the equatorial ring
add hundreds more kilometers to this size.
Description:
Yuggoth are ancient, planet-sized beings that worship AZATHOTH, the
sentient black hole that rests atop the Star Spawn pantheon of Supreme Subdimensional beings.
They orbit just outside the event horizon of their Dark God. Nine are known to exist. It is possible that Yog-Sothoth is one of these Entities.
The beings are adorned with massive artificial continents of metallic stone that are several
kilometers thick, which float upon an ocean of writhing biological chaos in a slow drift, serving
as colossal armor plates which simultaneously serve as home for several castes and races of Star Spawn, who are thought to have emerged autonomously from the chaotic protoplasm eons
ago. Enormous domes rise like blisters from the surface of these metallic planes, filled with some
kind of blood-red fluid or gaseous environment that the Star Spawn find comfortable. Within
these domes are massive metropolises of Star Spawn, populated, or infested, by millions of
these beings, who thrive among countless spawning pits, laboratories, dungeons, vast libraries of
arcane knowledge, and other structures to bizarre for words.
Beneath the domes, the artificial crust is riddled with fortresses and structures of every
imaginable purpose. There are massive labyrinths of deep tunnels and chambers, some
kilometers wide and deep. A great artificial ring completely encircles the being at its equator,
from which protrudes a multitude of vast, twisted towers; an array of incomprehensible
technology, sensory equipment, alien weaponry, sensory towers, comprised of all manner of
incomprehensible sensory devices, bizarre and alien weaponry, and massive experimentation
chambers.
A great central maw is employed by the Scion to devour any available matter and feed the
biological furnace that fuels the great Beast. The Star Spawn scour the universes for complex
biological matter to feed their God directly, according to its preference, although they can subsist
upon any matter.
Three of the blisters are not Star Spawn cities, but rather are gargantuan artificial eyes, used by
the Scions to accrete and disseminate dark knowledge.
Great tendrils, some thousands of kilometers in length, are used to guide objects towards the
feeding maw and to physically defend the being when necessary.
The Shoggoths are thought to small physical manifestations of minor aspects of these
beings, and are thought to be representative of their nature as a whole.
