Dark Young
The Dark Young of Shub Nig... Shub-Nigg.... Shub-ni... Shub.... GAAAAAH! Okay, 'll just say it.
Shub-Niggurath.
See? It's not spelled like the bad word! Don't LOOK at me like that! Yes, I know H. P. Lovecraft had some ethnicity issues, but really, he had issues with everybody (including his own white folks), and I don't think this one was a direct slur. It's just an unfortunate name.
Anyway, this is the Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath. There are thousands of them. I'm going to quote Robert Bloch on this one:
"Something black in the road, something that wasn't a tree. Something big and black and ropy, just squatting there, waiting, with ropy arms squirming and reaching... It came crawling up the hillside... and it was the black thing of my dreams -- that black, ropy, slimy jelly tree-thing out of the woods. It crawled up and it flowed up on its hoofs and mouths and snaky arms."
