Shoggoth
When you think of a Lovecraft monster as an amorphous blob of tentacles and eyes, you're probably thinking of a Shoggoth.
"It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter."
-At the Mountains of Madness
These things were created to be servitors of the Elder Things, and have a lot of brief mentions in Lovecraft's stories, most prominently appearing in At The Mountains Of Madness.
