Shoggoth: Spawn of the Sea By Donald Wandrei | Cthulhu Mythos

Formless protoplasm able to mock and reflect all forms and organs and processes - viscous agglutinations of bubbling cells - rubbery fifteen-foot spheroids infinitely plastic and ductile - slaves of suggestion, builders of cities - more and more sullen, more and more intelligent, more and more amphibious, more and more imitative! Great God! What madness made even those blasphemous Old Ones willing to use and carve such things?
HP Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness.
A shoggoth is a sentient blob of self-shaping, gelatinous flesh, something like a giant amoeba. it is some 15 feet in diameter if it shaped itself into a sphere, but larger and smaller versions exist. A shoggoth is capable of shaping itself into whatever organs or shapes it finds necessary at the moment; however, in its usual state it tends to sport a roiling profusion of eyes, mouths, and pseudopodia.
The shoggoth can kill its enemies by enveloping them and generating enough suction-force to decapitate their victims. That is specifically how they fought the Elder Things during their rebellion.
they first appeared in HP Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness.

Spooky Spooky Shoggoths. They're one of my favorite Lovecraftian abominations.

Loved it the narrator has the voice of an angel who smokes

[@AyameFyuu]

Dammit Bill! I kind of suspected he would betray if was already planning to abandon women and children but would think he be a bit more grateful at someone saving his life. Though that fate he got was terrible.
