    How is that possible? How does the ape fit in a room thinner than itself? This is beyond my comprehension.

    The best explanation I’ve heard is imagine an ant. All it really does is gather food, eat food, protect the queen, you know, simple stuff. Then it comes across a circuit board. And suddenly the ant is filled with knowledge of how the circuit board works, what electricity is and how the components all work together. Then it goes back to being just an ant again, but it still kind of remembers that knowledge but can’t understand any of it anymore. And now it has to try to go on being just an ant again.

    This is why Lovecraft’s writing was so special, it only really works in written form and allows your brain to do the heavy lifting (though unfortunate that his terror of the unknown came from his deep racism. Don’t look up the name of his dog cat 😬).

    If people are impressed by the reply in the OP, they should try reading The Shadow over Innsmouth, or At the Mountains of Madness.

    No offense to OP, but it makes that look like a child wrote it.

    Read books, y’all!

      name of his dog cat

      oh no. my first thought was almost right but I didn’t expect it to actually be that for real

      impressed

      i think it was mostly just funny, because it still wins the average tentacle monster

    How does he fit into the campaign, I wonder:-?

    Yes, I fully accept my punishment for this.

      Although he is slightly wider than any story, you can fit him in just by squeezing him a little. Although he is amusing for his great width, he doesn’t have a very robust backstory. The character lacks depth.

    I love something like the hounds of tindalos.

    Not tentacled monsters, but still strange monsters that have very strict limits, yet never give up.
