Child of Yog-Sothoth

The Children of Yog-Sothoth are a species inspired by Wilbur Whateley, one of the main antagonists in H. P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror".
==Background==
The Children of Yog-Sothoth are mortal creatures infused with the Outer God Yog-Sothoth's essence. Most of them can pass for a prominent member of a specific species (relating to the mother) if they wear clothing that hides the monstrous elements in its body. These features include tentacles, eyes, and tails, along with extra maws in places where joints or vertebrae would be expected. They notably emanate an unpleasant scent, typical among old ones and relations. They have a fundamental understanding of magic, easily expanded upon provided with basic tutoring. They are not born evil and have complex morals, but since nearly all of them are raised by the cults that create them, they almost always have evil tendencies manifesting in passive malevolence in the good of their respective cult group. Creating a Child of Yog-Sothoth involves a blasphemous ritual in which a humanoid or animal is used as an incubator, the child's seed combined with the blood of a member in a pact of Yog-Sothoth. The mother dies upon giving birth and usually gives birth to twins, a Child of Yog-Sothoth and a Spawn of Yog-Sothoth. If twins are not produced, the offspring are still birthed. Children of Yog-Sothoth mature much faster than their mother's species; however, they have an extended life span by age, prone to health complications.
