Monster Hunter International
Shoggoths in Monster Hunter International are the lowest true servant (as opposed to zombies which multiple sources can create and control) of The Old Ones. They are typically sent to aid those bastards crazy enough to worship alien squid things yet are actually relevant to the being's interest. They are highly vulnerable to fire, yet able to survive being frozen long term.
Oddly enough, at least one good Shoggoth is shown to have existed. There's official merch of it.
Monstergirls? Seriously?
 | This article or section is about Monstergirls (or a monster that is frequently depicted as a Monstergirl), something that /tg/ widely considers to be the purest form of awesome. Expect PROMOTIONS! and /d/elight in equal measure, often with drawfaggotry or writefaggotry to match. |
As a matter of fact, almost nobody ever thought that "shoggoth" and "monstergirls" should go together. The idea seemed just too weird. Until that crazy bastard Kenkou Cross did one for his Monster Girl Encyclopedia, basically turning the shoggoth into a cute slime-girl maid who uses her bio-toolset abilities to create whatever tools she needs for the job, up to and including shapeshifting into a bed to bang her chosen human master in. Which admittedly makes a lot of sense.
