The (not really) Official Endgame Summon Thread!

Greater Otherness I think.

Vastnesses are more about the Flying, ethereal, mind blasting than the trampling. I'm not sure which lovecraftian beastie they come from.

[Agema]

Vastness would roughly equal Yog-Sothoth, who is an Elder God.

Shoggoths are just huge beasties of great appetite and I think dubious intelligence.

[thejeff]

If I remember my mythos lore properly, shoggoths were created by and served the Great Race until they rebelled. The rebellion suggests intelligence.

I still say they match the Othernesses quite well.

[Wrana]

In any case the Cthulhu Mythos is already represented in the game quite well. Except that Starspawns don't fly - probably for game balance reasons...

[MaxWilson]

[smacks forehead] Oh! So *that's* why they call it R'lyeh!



I still think the Mythos might possibly provide more summons. I considered suggesting the Hounds of Tindalos but all I could think of was teleport + assassination, which didn't seem quite evocative enough.

[TheMenacer]

I'm really surprised that the Mi-go don't show up in any capacity. They might be a little immediately identifiable as a lovecraft property, but there's no rule against having some vaguely recognizable flying fungus beast that removes peoples' brains for kicks, is there?

Try to implement Crxyxll if you are so smart
