a crown like entangled antlers of yellowed ivory, pocked with weeping sores.
3
quivering, asymmetrical puffball-growths studding their bodies.
4
bioluminescent splotches flashing across their skin in colours you have no name for.
5
liquid shadows that do not act like mere occlusions -
sometimes rising to coil around the one that casts them, sometimes
ranging about to lurk in the corner of your eye.
6
a growth on their "chest" or "abdomen" that vaguely
resembles a face, which they contort and throb when attempting to
communicate with humans.
D6
These fungi's Yuggoth
1
is a wormhole into a lead-grey, ultra-entropic cosmos where detritivores digest even the very fabric of space-time.
2
is a rogue planet which wandered the universe for eons -
captured by the gravity of our Sun, its light awakening the planet's
inhabitants from long crypto-biosis.
3
is an intergalactic macro-ship which they've parasitically infiltrated.
4
is itself a Great Old One, which the fungi have
effectively lobotomized & ridden from the apocalypse which consumed
their original solar system.
5
is a throbbing cyst in reality, enclosing the para-causal system that the fungi draw on for sustenance & empowerment.
6
is the spherical, three-dimensional extrusion of a
higher-dimensional super-being - these fungi are extrusions of the same,
only smaller and less aware of it.
D6
These fungi from Yuggoth can
1
implant a psychic bud into someone's spine that compels those around the implantee to gangstalk them.
2
fuse together into living portals that allow instant transportation across gulfs of space.
3
cause the bodies and souls of those who drink their ichor to drift between the waking world and the Dreamlands.
4
emit a hummadruz which degrades memories and other records of their presence.
5
forge the iridescent lagh metal which even the immortal fear.
6
discorporate themselves into a semi-sentient infection that can afflict both animals and plants for wide area control.
D6
These fungi from Yuggoth come to Earth
1
to harvest collections of brains from
seemingly-disparate individuals - sometimes animals - which when
arranged properly together share a psycho-geometrical harmony that
amplifies the fungi's more abstract technologies.
2
to observe the dimensional rifts that form where
gravity well and primitive consciousness meet, and to extract the hybrid
substances that encrust the interstitial null-space of these rifts.
3
to open the way for greater entities, and thereby gain tokens and concessions from the same.
4
to nudge human development in subtle & esoteric ways, which may not bear fruit from millions of years yet.
5
to combat the influence of their ancient enemy - the god-state of Tindalos.
6
to measure the distortions caused by the entities sleeping or bound or latent within its space-time.
D6
These fungi from Yuggoth have a base
1
on the dark side of the moon, where they are waited on
by kidnapped and immortalized Apollo mission astronauts, while those
astronauts' clones lived out their lives on Earth.
2
orbiting around the sun - they could, at any moment,
use it to provoke a solar flare that would wipe out technological
civilization.
3
at the North Pole, within the Rupes Nigra, allowing them to manipulate electro-magnetic signals across the planet and beyond.
4
beneath a cornfield somewhere in Midwestern America,
where an occult government faction swears oaths of service to them in
return for alien knowledge - the corn of the field above is infected
with a smut derived from the fungi from Yuggoth themselves.
5
off the beaten path on Mount Everest, where wealthy
supplicants come with offerings in the hope of winning favours and
blessings of warped flesh.
6
on a small, artificial island somewhere in the Pacific,
built from a genetically-modified, electro-magnetism-disrupting coral.
They are worshiped there by an eco-terrorist sect.
D6
When these fungi from Yuggoth attempt to communicate with humans
1
they ape the mannerisms of particular pop-cultural individuals.
2
they come off as psychopathically callous.
3
they prefer to use changeling-children raised by them,
who've got one brain hemisphere removed and replaced with a fungal
organelle.
4
they avoid pronouns and suchlike, suggesting they have no sense of self.
5
they tend to stumble over terms of community, family, connection, and suchlike.
6
they use the Elder Futhark, which were taught to the
ancient Scandinavians by them, therewhen cemenenting the "Nordic" alien
archetype as a cover-up of the horrid truth.
Where was this like 10+ years ago when I loved the Mi-Go! I mean I do still like them but I just don't think about Lovecraftian stuff as much as I used to...
