Hunting in packs, they are fearsome hunters who will practice cannibalism if they get too hungry.Īliens that looks like a cross between fungus and lobsters, mi-gos sure are strange. They hate sunlight and thus dwell in complete darkness, with sunlight capable of destroying them. They also have kangaroo-like legs which they use to hop around on and are very swift, strong, and agile. They have a vaguely human face, but lack noses or ears. Hailing from Lovecraft’s surreal Dream Cycle, ghasts are humanoid creatures that live in the vaults of Zin. She’s also noted for particularly bad tempered and violent, causing other Old Ones to tread carefully around her. As for Kassogtha herself, her abilities are ill defined but she can grab her victims with her tendrils and yank them in to devour them whole.

Incest seems a minor horror in the Lovecraft universe but its pretty gross nonetheless and shows that Great Old Ones’ family trees are messed up. She’s describe as literally just a big pile of tentacles and in turn gave birth to Nctosa and Ncothlu, Cthulhu’s daughters. This writhing mass of tentacles is said to be Cthulhu’s sister and mate (yuck). So, let’s celebrate Lovecraft’s work through going over some of his other creations and let old Cthulhu have a rest! Brace your mind, here are the varied creations of the Lovecraft Mythos! Yes, Cthulhu is quite memorable, being an octopus-headed alien sea monster with giant wings, but there’s tons of other Lovecraft stories out there beyond Call of Cthulhu, each with their own weird, terrible, and petrifying monsters. Often with Lovecraft, a lot of his work tends to boil down to his most infamous creation: Cthulhu. In celebration of Lovecraft’s birthday (August 20th), we’re posting some Lovecraft related horror goodness!
