Talk:Mi-Go

message: This page features a lot of info from the Delta Green Eyes Only, all post-Lovecraft, without pointing out that it essentially comes from one man's imagination. 71.96.83.27 01:54, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The following line:
"Interestingly, they are capable of going into suspended animation until softened and reheated by the sun or some other source of heat."  
...seems to refer to the Elder Things/Old Ones from an entirely different novella.  I'm reluctant to edit it out, as it's been a while since I've read Whisperer in Darkness.  Can anyone confirm / deny that this is also a Mi-go trait?

thread_title: Wrong Story?

message: Why does the article suggest that Mi-go may have originated from the shoggoths? Since At the Mountains of Madness seems to say that shoggoths consist of ordinary Earth matter (unlike the Mi-go; see previous comment), and tells us that different aliens who seem baffled by unearthly matter created them long before the Mi-go came to Earth, and gives us no reason to think that shoggoths can travel between planets, it seems like any race that originated on Earth has more chance than the Mi-go of having descended from these ex-slaves.

message: The following section appears to be original research:
There is an episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation entitled "Night Terrors" which may feature the Mi-Go. The Mi-Go in "The Whisperer in Darkness" communicate by clicking their pincers and are said to be consummate surgeons. In the Star Trek episode, a race of extra-dimensional aliens abduct crew members in their sleep and perform medical experiments on them. The crew members' memories are blocked but as they begin to recover their memories, they remember a surgical theater-like room with strange looking aliens who communicate via clicking sounds. Although not identified as such, they resemble the Mi-Go to a great degree.
One problem I should point out is that the Mi-go communicate by changing the colors of their "heads"; it was the Great Race of Yith that communicated by clicking their pincers. In fact, these aliens could just as easily be related to the Nug-Soth, because as demonstrated in Robert M. Price's "Saucers from Yaddith" they exist in another dimension and are allegedly performing bizarre experiments on humans. For that matter, the aliens certainly looked nothing like the crab-like "winged fungous-beings" from Lovecraft's tale. Furthermore, since none of the aliens pulled a "Spock's Brain" on the crew—which would be more in keeping with the Mi-go's modus operandi—the connection with the Mi-go is very tenuous.
More likely, the episode simply picks on the alien abduction theme, and runs with it.

message: I read somewhere (possibly the Call of Cthulhu rpg) that the Mi-Gos wings were only partly in this reality, hence their difficulties in normal flight. Rather than pushing against air in order to attain lift, they push against some other substance in another dimension. Again, I'm not sure where I saw this, and it may have been a modern invention intended to give a more plausible explanation for the pre-Einstein idea of "the ether of space". Thoughts?

message: Rather than leaving bickering in the article itself, perhaps we should settle on which version of the facts to go with here and axe the other? - Vianello (talk) 01:56, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Notes section

message: This article and the Morlock article state that Mi-go and Morlocks are the same thing. In particular, the Morlocks article says Wells got the idea of the Morlocks from H P Lovecraft. Given Wells was writing decades before Lovecraft, how can this be?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.43.215 (talk) 12:55, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm removing the passage in "Other appearances" that reads 
In the comic The Five Fists of Science, Yetis are referred to as "Migou." The comic also features an "Innsmouth Tower" and a creature resembling Cthulhu
because "migoi" is just another name for yeti, as described here. The spelling "migou" has been used elsewhere, e.g. in Tintin in Tibet. Opera hat (talk) 11:48, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

message: It doesn't seem a great representation as it hardly matches the description in the text, see also this discussion  about the use of unofficial fan images (which must border on original research, unless based on official images, which makes them derivative works and we might as well use the official ones).
