HP Lovecraft's Elder Thing

Description

"Six feet end to end, three and five-tenths feet central diameter, tapering to one foot at each end. Like a barrel with five bulging ridges in place of staves. Lateral breakages, as of thinnish stalks, are at equator in middle of these ridges. In furrows between ridges are curious growths – combs or wings that fold up and spread out like fans. . . which gives almost seven-foot wing spread. Arrangement reminds one of certain monsters of primal myth, especially fabled Elder Things in the Necronomicon."

~H.P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness

Preceded even the Great Race of Yith and the Blind Ones. Mayhaps prior to them were Chaugnar Faughn and the Hounds of Tindalos !

Each term in biology I must get out jars with such -things- for exp.8.
