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.

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

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

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.

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...

[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.

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?
