man this game brings back memories i used to play this dam game in the dark and it was fun

what was the monster at the end of the game

dagor or something

[Zhinarkos]

@nibelung34343 I think Hydra was the final monster. The one big fat creature in a tank? Dagon was the one attacking the ship on the way to Devil's reef

"The machinery must have overloaded and blown a fuse", thought Jack, idly wondering if he would make it out in time for an early brunch.

Shoggoths are tasty. Best horror game nowadays.

[chinyiting]

did someone knew the epic music when shoggoth show up?

[Kyuubi424]

@ballrdd24 I thought it was Jack's footsteps at first, but then when I realized it wasn't, it started to creep me out.

[ballrdd24]

@Kyuubi424

I kind of could, and I got to say, it was kind of creepy. Huh.

[Kyuubi424]

@GrimNFrostbittenJew Intriguing. Thanks for that. ^_^

[Kyuubi424]

@ballrdd24 Well, you could argue it does make that call. During the time when you're running around avoiding the Shoggoth, there's this particular sound it makes. It's not the gurgling, and it's not the screeching. It's a separate noise that sounds incredibly unsettling.

Can you pick it up? It's like a strange distorted crowing.

[GrimNFrostbittenJew]

@Kyuubi424 To clarify further: In the Mythos, Shoggoths are a sort of genetically engineered servitor race of beings called the "Elder Things", as described in "At The Mountains of Madness". If I'm not mistaken, Shoggoths were designed to have no or very little self-awareness and intelligence, but over time they somehow developed intelligence and rebelled against their masters - one of the reasons the Elder Things went extinct.

@Kyuubi424

More or less.

It can't really speak a language(Well, it could form vocal chords and such if it wished I guess), but it constantly repeats, "Tekeli-li!"

[Kyuubi424]

@ballrdd24 Interesting. So it's the equivalent of a slime, but more grotesque. Cool. ^_^

So, it can make a call? Is it able to speak a language or something like that?

[ballrdd24]

@Kyuubi424

Pretty much. It can be generally recognized as something tar-like, oozing clear fluid from pores throughout it's body, and moving organs and such. "Tekeli-li" helps as a definition I suppose, :P

[Kyuubi424]

@ballrdd24 Fair enough then. I don't know much about this Cthulhu Mythos business. >_<

So does the Shoggoth have no defined form or appearance then?
