Yugg

Yuggs are a species of monstrous creature created by the late American author Lin Carter.
==Description==
Yuggs, which may be extraterrestrial in origin, resemble enormous white flatworms. Reaching a minimum of 12 feet in length, and up to 4 ft in diameter, they have mouths full of horn-like teeth and a half dozen tentacles which can be up to 2 ft long. Yuggs have unusual characteristics, such as the ability to shoot organic darts into humans to transmit genetic information. Though Yuggs can exist anywhere, they prefer to spend most of their time burrowing beneath the Earth's crust. Yuggs sometimes bestow great wealth to humans in exchange for their cooperation and for regular sacrifices.
==Yuggya==
Yuggya is the name given to the progeny of a mating between a Yugg and a Deep One of the fish-like variety. The resulting being has the outward appearance of a human, however it is not remotely human but has characteristics of cnidarians, squids and insects. Although its mind is alien to normal human thoughts and emotions, a yuggya is nonetheless empathic and can use this ability to exploit the emotional weaknesses of its adversaries.
The Yuggya race is detailed and appears in the novel "Other Nations" by T&P Marsh. The term Ub-Bg-zth also appears in the novel "Other Nations." Both the Yuggs and Yuggya (Carter and Marsh) are direct offspring of Ubb.
(Note: The term "Yuggya" can also be used as the plural for "Yugg").
