Fractal Yog-Sothoth

The Fractal Yog-Sothoth is an avatar of the Outer God Yog-Sothoth created by Chaosium for their Call of Cthulhu Mythos roleplaying game. 
==Description==
Appearing as an agglomeration of coruscating rainbow-coloured geometric shapes surrounding a central mass of tentacles, the Fractal Yog-Sothoth is rarely encountered in the real world; nevertheless it is occasionally stumbled across by unwitting computer users. When it’s bizarre dimension is accessed, the Fractal Yog-Sothoth immediately forces its way through the user's now-destroyed computer screen and grows to a terrifying size, lashing out with its appendages: any living being touched by the Fractal is instantly absorbed by it. 
Being an entity composed entirely of energy, the Fractal Yog-Sothoth cannot be harmed by any physical means. However, it is vulnerable to energy-based weapons and effects, and the switching off or restarting of the computer which it used as a gateway may act to cast it back to its own dimension. 
==Behind the Mythos==
The Fractal Yog-Sothoth was created by veteran games designer Scott David Aniolowski for the Call of Cthulhu sourcebook Ye Booke of Monstres II in 1995. 
==Trivia==
*It has been suggested that entities other than Yog-Sothoth possess fractal avatars in this other dimension, although if any of them have been encountered by humans there have been no survivors left to tell the tale.
