YAKUBIAN

YAKUBIAN
"It was a gigantic, pale-grey worm or centipede, as large around as a man and twice as long, with a disc-like, apparently eyeless, cilia-fringed head bearing a purple central orifice. It glided on its rear pairs of legs, with its fore part raised vertically—the legs, or at least two pairs of them, serving as arms. Along its spinal ridge was a curious purple comb, and a fan-shaped tail of some grey membrane ended its grotesque bulk. There was a ring of flexible red spikes around its neck, and from the twistings of these came clicking, twanging sounds in measured, deliberate rhythms."

  1. Awesome as always.... I got the "Elder Things" and the "Dark Young of Shub-Nigurath" as my wing-men in my "Spore" game at present... along with the "Mi-Go".....
