Shoggoths are said to have been around for eons. Legends also claim that, when compared to any other oozes, shoggoths have much greater wisdom. Shoggoths were once the servants of dark powers, but cast off their masters after centuries of mistreatment.[1] Sages believe that Aboleths may have been the creators but ancient texts imply that an even more ancient race was behind their existence.
Appearance
Shoggoth have no distinct form. They change it to fit the situation as need be, having arms, tentacles, or any other form that might help them to catch and consume their food. Their flesh is mostly black, sometimes translucent, giving off a very faint luminescence. Shoggoth have no permanent mouth, but can create and absorb them as needed.[1]
Habitat
On Golarion, these horrors exist in the deepest, darkest reaches of the oceans or in the remotest ruins and caverns.[2]
Within the solar system, they also dwell near the south poles of Aucturn and Akiton.[3]
