Shub-Niggurath, Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, is the Great Old One and/or Outer God of Fertility in the Cthulhu Mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft. She is one of the most famous of the Outer Gods, alongside Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth, and she tends to pop up in a lot of places.

Dark Young
The Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath are the most well-known spawn and servitors of Shub-Niggurath, in case you haven't figured it out from their name. These strange creatures resemble twisted, deformed trees from a distance, at least so long as they are at rest; they stride across the land on surprisingly goat-like legs, and have no bodily features save for one or more maws scattered around their body. From the top of their trunk-like torso emerges a random number of writhing, octopus-like tentacles.
