I actually just wanted to create a monster that absorbed stuff, and always liked the shoggoths. But in a way it is a blob variant. I would also like for it to split into more shoggoths on high hp, have some special attacks. (Something with sanity probably). A sort of end boss blob monster. (Not that slime pits have an end right now, or even with the addition of the shog, but at least they are now a bit more dangerous, instead of just an endless swarm of blobs).

I also added it to the nether monsters list, so it can show up trapped in the same places as those do. The lore behind the nether monsters isn't totally clear to me, esp as we also have the mi-go monster. (And I assumed it was like the lovecraft monster, and came out of the lab teleport experiments).

So, there isn't a grand plan behind my addition. No method to my madness. ;)
