Shuggob

Shuggob is a fictional character created by Lin Carter for his Cthulhu Mythos short story "In the Vale of Pnath".
==Description==
Shuggob is an elderly ghoul sage who lives alone in a stone house surrounded by a garden of moss and lichens, with a hedge made of mottled fungi, in the part of the Dreamlands known as the Vale of Pnath. He is extremely knowledgeable about magic and skilled in the craft of potions.
Somewhat unusually for a ghoul, Shuggob is a soft-spoken individual of gentlemanly demeanor and scholarly inclinations. He is amicable and receptive to strangers, offering them food and drinks of the type generally consumed by his species, i.e. made from human flesh and blood.
In terms of physical appearance, Shuggob is tall and lean. His skin is grey, cold to the touch, and rubbery, and his hands are surprisingly strong. He is so ancient that parts of his face have been eaten away by maggots, making his speech difficult to understand at times. Eibon attributes this state of partial decomposition to Shuggob's extreme age and "questionable diet". (: "In the Vale of Pnath")
