My take on Shubby is that she characterizes the primordial material out of which all life spawned, in which case she is literally the mother of all living creatures. I like to think "the woods" (this is purely my own idea) refer to the dark columns of Nebulae dust in which her squirming mass floats, and that bits of her mass routinely break off and float in all directions until they collide with some planetoid and begin the process of evolving into creatures fit to live on that planet. This fits with the Lovecraftian theme that it is a matter of horror that we are related to lesser life forms. In this sense, not just humans, but EVERY living creature throughout space and time are children of the same mother.
Shub-Niggurath has always been one of my favorite Old Ones, for what she (it?) represents: the insignificance of life. We humans like to believe we are born for a reason, with purpose or at least love and intention. Someone wants us here, and that gives us hope. Shub-Niggurath turns that on it's head. She spawns randomly, discarding her young as she would her last bowel movement. She's not even aware they are born. She is the uncaring universe, you are it's child. Too insignificant to even be unwanted. You're just... generated spontaneously, and will probably be absorbed back again without Shub-Niggurath ever knowing you were there. She, along with Azathoth, is the essence of cosmic, nihilistic dread.

Shub was also the final boss in the game Quake. It never attacked you. Nor could any weapon damage it. Instead you fought waves of enemies throughout the level. I wont say how to kill Shub at the end. The original lore of Quake had Shub as the ruler/matriarch of all the monsters in the game but there wasnt much more info about it.
man i love quake, also there was this portal that teleports you to a floating spikey platform thing that moves around shub, it sometimes moves inside (clips in) shub herself and if you time going into the portal correctly as the spikey platform clips through shub you can telefrag her and basically kill her.
Shub was also a boss in South Park the Fractured But Whole, the only way you could do damage to Shub was to get Enemies into Shub's Area of Effect, and you couldn't damage it with normal attacks either.
@@gangweedernigga4012 this was the info i was withholding in regards to defeating Shub. The only way to beat her is to wait for the entity to clip/pass through Shub and it is at this time you teleport into her. Back when i 1st got to Shub's domain (and eventually beating all the monsters on the level) it took me ages to figure out how to destroy her. The 1st time i used the portal i teleported into the lava lol. Because i kept dying when i went through the portal i assumed it was not the answer so i tried shooting Shub. I emptied every gun into her and nothing. I even used cheats to give max ammo! When that failed i thought to just telefrag myself and restart the level to see if there was something i missed. So i ran into the portal expecting to die but this time i didnt end up in another part of the map or just drop into the lava, i got the end screen instead(??) It was then i put 2 and 2 together that the entity and portal were linked. I did laugh at seeing Quake man hack Shub to death from the inside. I had all the guns and yet the mighty Shub died from ingesting a maniac with an axe
@@nefvynisnobody9809 I too got stuck on that final level, back in the 90s. I never figured it out for myself, I was told the answer by a friend who was also playing at the same time period. Pretty sure Ranger doesn't hack her to death from the inside though, but rather telefrags her (2 entities occupying the same physical space, the one teleporting in will basically explode the previous one)
So far Shub Niggurath has been: - Beaten up by a Persona protag - Got her ass kicked by Trent Reznor - Murdered by 1/3 population of South Park -Got tired of all the beating she had, she went to Japan and basically becomes someone's older sister.

Love Shub-niggurath. She's one of my favorite entities in the Cthulhu Mythos. I hope to someday include her in one of my stories. Thanks for finally doing a video about her.
@@81doll What confuses me is that Cthulu's cult is made of everyone that isn't white. So in actual Lovecraftian lore, everyone else _EXCEPT_ White people should worship Shub Niggurath
i was introduced to it via Night in the Woods. (spoilers) at the end of NITW, you encounter a death cult worshiping a creature they call "The Black Goat". the Goat had been causing Mae to hallucinate when she leaves Possum Springs, have fever dreams at night, and to get terrible migraines when it feeds.
Ah yes... The Dark Young are my fav' Lovecraft creature... and have featured many times in the RPG Call of Cthulhu that I used to play some 20 years ago with my mates. H.P. Lovecraft IS the father of all modern sci-fi horror.

I love listening to these as I paint. These stories are really cool and get the imagaination going... I now wanna draw an eldrich goat mom showing off her children to a captive.. er, guest to share her how proud she is of all of them.
This god plays the role of a fertility goddess in the mythos. I would like to think that, similar to how Yig was morphed in legends to become Quetzalcoatl, Yig's myths became the notion of a mother earth that needs to be appeased. The gods in this world seem evil and chaotic, but they are beyond our notion of reality. People could be sacrificing it and drawing power from it, while the goddess herself doesn't even realize or care. The fickle Aphrodite may have just been a representation of the chaotic nature of this goddess's power, the nature worshippers in Scottland could have been drawing on her power with mixed results, etc.
It was Quake that made me Interested in Cthulhu mythos. Shub-Niggurath being the final Boss only made me wonder about the other gods of the mythos and always made me wonder what a proper true sequel to quake would have been if they went further into the mythos.

I think Lovecraft's followers twisted out every single of his creatures and deities. Lovecraft was careful not to paint his deities as evil (except Nyarlathotep), just different, fundamentally different regarding their view on existence. They are like brainless forces of nature with no elaborated though processes, just an aim defined at birth (both of the Other Gods of the Dream Cycle, and Azathoth are often called mindless (I'm not sure whether the "Other Gods" is the Dream World name of the cosmic deities, but I though it was)). I always imagined Shub-Niggurath to be around Azathoth in the dark center of the cosmos (or whatever), participating it the dance Azathoth is said to do (wiggling to the sound of two cursed pipes or something).
Indeed, likewise most of these entities were displayed either once or very few times in Lovecraft novellas with very little description or interaction, and were mostly developed by other various writers who developed a pantheon of sorts of Lovecraftian mythological entities. It was widely these latter writers' renditions that corrupted the essence of what Lovecraft was trying to convey through the aforementioned entities.
The first time I'd heard of Shub-Niggurath was in the game Archane: Mystery of the Stone Circle. Granted, Shub-Niggurath is completely different from the one in Lovecraft
I like to think of Shub-Niggurath as the embodiment of nature, life and reproduction in its rawest, most complete form. Her most common form is also likely a representation of Lovecraft's attitudes toward anything sexual.
I used to listen to Morbid Angel when I was a kid, and one verse mentions Shub-niggurath. Never knew it was Lovecraftian, thought it was something the band members made up. 25 years later I find out on RUclips. Cool.
In the thirty's to early sixties a lot of writers would go to friends who were Professors in Colleges and University's and try to get Inspiration from a recently discovered drug, LSD, a lot of Lovecrafts Ideas seem to be inspired by this!
for me it´s the third or fourth most powerfull deity in Lovecraftian lore, only surpassed by Yog Sothoth and Azathoth, Nyarlathotep may be on the same level as her or slighly above or under her status, and all of them are very above the more known Cthulhu god himself.
I would indeed like a video to explain the Migo. as I recall, Lovecraft described them as space crabmen of some sort, and they also happened to be the Yeti, or abominable snowmen. Now that is an interesting take on the Yeti, that i want to hear about.
This is so cool because I love these books and the collections of stories by lovecraft now it’s the mythical creatures guide of all the cool creatures in the books fucking awesome especially for such a big horror fan like myself

this mythos was adapted into the 3rd season of the overlord anime.
In the thirty's to early sixties a lot of writers would go to friends who were Professors in Colleges and University's and try to get Inspiration from a recently discovered drug, LSD, a lot of Lovecrafts Ideas seem to be inspired by this!
We need a GOOD movie with this mythos as the focus.
Hollywood studios interference would screw it up
Color out of space with nic cage is an example of a well done lovecraft film. The dudes in charge actually care about lovecrafts work
@@thesenate4815 I saw it on dvd and I miss the opportunity to get it
@@dreademperor2094 if you have vpn and live in a country with little enforcement, the pirates life for you
@@thesenate4815 what does that have to do with what I said?
I wonder if it’s possible for you to explore the Hyborian Age of Robert E. Howard? One of the other Weird Tales authors that intrigued me.
That would be pretty cool
My favorite fictional monster 👴🏻

Shubby was the final boss I quake 1 should do a video or series based o the first quake , it's mostly based on lovecraft in it's own way.
for me it´s the third or fourth most powerfull deity in Lovecraftian lore, only surpassed by Yog Sothoth and Azathoth, Nyarlathotep may be on the same level as her or slighly above or under her status, and all of them are very above the more known Cthulhu god himself.
I love watching the captions try and keep up with these names
Who’s here because of the anime OVERLOAD, when ainz summoned them to slaughter an entire army?
I'm here bc of South Park
Is that The Hound I hear in the background?
Having Graham Plowman's stuff as the background music to this is brilliant.
I love lovecraft lore but knowing how raciest he was, it really is reflected in the name of this creature.
Is it? Or are YOU low key a racist yourself?
I would indeed like a video to explain the Migo. as I recall, Lovecraft described them as space crabmen of some sort, and they also happened to be the Yeti, or abominable snowmen.
Now that is an interesting take on the Yeti, that i want to hear about.
Do you think you'll ever have a go at the Hounds of Tindalos?
Maxin Paul Carroll I believe I’ve slain several of them, but I can’t quite remember.
Kharn Wait... they have these things in the Eye of Terror? Why am I not surprised.
Zack Flowers Any form of abomination that you could possibly imagine, I have defeated on the battlefield.
The true cosmic horror is how deep this lore goes and how many books I'll have to read to catch up.
That is the funnest name for a god ever! 🤣
After playing south park fractured but whole, i can never unsee that name EVER
Interesting vid, I do enjoy the Cthulhu mythology & so dose my other half 👍😎
Oh this is a sweet channel. Finally RUclips recommends great things.
A Nigguh What?!?
There are even more gods in the extended mythos please make a cover on it as well T-T
I can see why John Romero decided to use her for Quake
I came for your voice it's so smoothing &sexy to listen to,keep up the good work you're doing, I'm learning a lot.
this is the thing that killed 70,000 and more the guy in overlord summoned
no, her children did that.
This thing killed me in South Park: the Fractured Butthole
This is so cool because I love these books and the collections of stories by lovecraft now it’s the mythical creatures guide of all the cool creatures in the books fucking awesome especially for such a big horror fan like myself
"I ain't afraid of no quake. "
Duke Nukem, 1996
hehe you gotta telefrag her to beat the game 🧀
first and last time i ever heard of this thing, was in overlord anime when Ainz summoned the dark young to his service..
a shub-WHAT
