Matuniat "The Shaggy Mountain," "The Impregnator of Mutations"
An ancient, especially inhuman member of the Lords of Change, the deity Matuniat is depicted as a towering conical thing, covered with a hanging, shaggy coat of tumorous growths, and anywhere from two to eight stumpy, trunk like leg-organs. Matuniat is said to be several miles tall, and in legends it is usually mistaken for a vegetation-covered mountain from a distance. Myths tell of Matuniat wandering the blasted and cursed regions of Algol, leaving a trail of his fecund semen. In these myths the sperm of Matuniat impregnate any fertile organisms they come in contact with, engendering mutated progeny.
I like this so very much. What are the cursed regions of Algol?
ReplyDelete"Fecund semen"? Dear god, this is foul but in a completely awesome way. More cthuhloid madness please!
ReplyDelete"...leaving a trail of his fecund semen. "
ReplyDeleteEwwww...
Well done.
ReplyDeleteAwesome,good job Algol's a big planet, given all the deities, demigods etc wandering around.
ReplyDeletecyclopeatron: possibly the entire planet? Algol is "the most unfortunate" of the stars...
ReplyDeletesean: note the "according to legend," "rumors persist" and the like in such entries...;)
