Egg of Coot

The Egg of Coot is an Aberration from the original Dungeons & Dragons setting Blackmoor. It was created by Dave Arneson, the originator and co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons.
== In-Universe lore ==
The Egg of Coot is one of the last surviving servants of the Outer Beings. It was originally a humanoid, or possessed humanoid, but has lost all human shape and is now an immense ball of quivering gray flesh covered in patches of moss-like fur, eyes and mouths. In this respect it may well be the same type of creature as Ugga-Naach.
It is served by a cult. The cult infiltrates surrounding settled areas as well as maintaining its own cult centre in the wilderness surrounding the crater where the Egg of Coot sits. Each day the cult gathers around the Egg and chants the cult creed, "Might is Right."
The Egg of Coot, despite its mouths, feeds off the ego of living intelligent beings. As it sucks their sense of self away it grows stronger, and increases in physical size. Those who have had their ego sucked away become spiritless unthinking Zombie-like followers of the Egg or wander the world of Blackmoor mindlessly repeating words and phrases that the Egg has placed in their minds.
