Ea R'lyeh Aboleths.

Since the mech idea doesn't seem to be going down all that digestably for some, maybe instead spawn could simply be attached to living creatures, magically? They might combine with sea trolls, giant crabs, mantas, etc., dissolving their will with direct psychic enslavement, while the bodies of the aboleth spawn themselves grow into the hosts, creating a new and far more horrifying being.

I like ea rlyeh too, but I'm not a fan of any of the suggestions in this thread,.. other than the reverse thetis' blessing spell. I'd really like to see aquatic only troops zipping about on land. The spell would have to be castable early enough for it to matter though.

Reverse Thetis' Blessing is the only one that appeals to me, too. I mentioned the tripods/WotW only in order to justify it thematically.
