Shoggoth

A Shoggoth is a rudimentary alien creature that most often resembles a black octopus, dotted here and there with eyes and maws, with a myriad of small, clawed legs on the bottom; however, it can manipulate itself into whatever shape it needs to be in, or feels like at the time. They are spawned, and raised as construction workers by Elder Things. Like parrots, they can learn a few words in whatever language they are exposed to. however, this is usually Elder-god-speak, a language man was not meant to hear. this, coupled with their hideous appearance, often drives humans in close proxemity to them mad.
