Seriously? the ths are The ONLY semi good alighned beings in the Lovecraft Cosmos! I, CTHULU EAT URE YOUR MADENED SOUL THROUOUT ETERNITY FOR YOU SMAL MISTAKE!
@GoblinXXX actually I think you could fudge it a bit, since they do turn bright red from drinking human blood, I've got an illustration of one in a Call of C'thulhu RPG book so someone could potentially fudge up a star vampire in spore. just colour it red I guess
Heheh, it'd be a star vampire with diabetes, who can't properly digest his food. (I think the COC game vastly over estimates their size, though-- In SHAMBLER FROM THE STARS, the thing flies in through a window and drains a guy in a normal sized room. Chaosium has them as big as polar bears, some the size of buses!
Great stuff! You know when a Lovecraftian Spore creation is good when you could look at it and immediately kjnow what it is. That there is a damned near perfect Yithian. Good work!
This is why this video is perfect to visualize how the great race looked like,however it does not describe the evil character and the might of this race...whatever
Actually I never really got the feeling that the Great Race of Yith were really all that evil, at least not compared to the other Lovecraft critters. They were just alien and indifferent to humans, in the same way we are indifferent to , say, attack dogs ?
What would you recommend a newcomer to the Lovecraft works to read? I like the whole Cthulu Mythos and would like something along these lines... with Elder Gods and Necronomicon type shit.
I would probably start them on one of the anthologies, especially including some of the core canon such as Call of C'thulhu, Shadow over Innsmouth, and the Dunwich Horror.
Charles, are you serious about them being evil? Of all the dozens and dozens of races and creatures, the Yithians are probably the absolute most friendly toward humankind of all! Next to the Fungi from Yuggoth or the Deep Ones they're practically a race of Mother Theresas!
Actually, Lovecraft never constructed the different beings in his novels as either evil or good entities. The Yithians would however be the race most inclined to help the human race if it would benefit them in some way, seing as their goals are not wanton destruction, but the search for knowledge and understanding.
@EpicurusThirteen You do know mother Theresa was an evil cultist? Read any of her critics or nuns that worked with her. Heck, even the Nobel prize acceptance speech gives some clue.

Now there's a side of the Great Race I've never seen before. I guess even Lovecraft aliens need to unwind.:-)

Lol, humanity was a bio-weapon devised by the great race of Yith to destroy the formless spawn in Lovecraft's universe.

@HeliosCore Yeah, and the most harm they seem to do is accidentally driving the occasional mind-swapee crazy or amnesiatic.
