The Fungi of Yuggoth

Artist's Description: These fungal beings known better as the Mi-Go have been described in several mouldering manuscripts written by H. P. Lovecraft. They fly through the aether of space on incomprehensible wings, exploring the wonders of the universe and the strange life forms that inhabit it. Occasionally, they allow human beings to travel alongside them; though of course they are gracious enough to remove their companions' brains before doing so. <a href="https://lovecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Mi-go">Lovecraft wiki</a> - Mi-Go

Mi-Go Laboratory

Brief Mi-Go description. More info can be found on the <a href="https://lovecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Mi-go">Lovecraft wiki</a>. The Mi-go are an extraterrestrial species from the planet Yuggoth (implied to be the dwarf planet Pluto). They are described as winged creatures with large claws and heads covered in antennae. The Mi-go are a scientifically and technologically advanced race, having a particularly sophisticated grasp of surgical techniques and neuroscience. The Mi-go can transport humans from Earth to Yuggoth (and beyond) and back again by removing the subject's brain and placing it into a "brain cylinder", which can be attached to external devices to allow it to see, hear, and speak.

Artist's Description: Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth.

" -from The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath by H.P. Lovecraft Randolph Carter is on an epic quest in dream land! :dummy: So, yeah, I'm reading Lovecraft and Robert W. Chambers, one of his influences. That's right, friendly friends, reading is a mystical journey that can get you places fast than rocketships! :la:
