This fountain of uncleanliness
is a huge pool of gray matter, 100 feet across, in the caverns
beneath Mount Voormithadreth.
<uncleanliness --> modifier
on monthly disease check, exposure to filth>
It is constantly bubbling and putting forth mouths, limbs, pseudopods and whole creatures. 1-100 small monsters are created from the pool each round, and they go crawling, flopping, or flying away into the caverns above. Some fall back into the pool, which then grows mouths and devours them. Shub-Niggurath is intelligent and telepathically sensitive. When it senses the approach of enemies (range 1,000') it will begin creating monsters to defend itself, one melee round. These will be random according to the following table (d6): 1. Byakhee; 2. Deep One; 3. Great Race; 4. Mi-Go; 5. Primordial One; 6. Shoggoth.
If any enemy is so foolish
as to approach to within 30' of the being, the pool will lash out with
a huge powerful tentacle; if it hits, it will pull the unfortunate victim
into the pool, where he or she will immediately become part of the 
swirling protoplasm. Any creature struck has a percentage chance of not
being pulled into the pool equal to his or her strength. Shub-Niggurath
strikes only once per turn in this way and can simultaneously create monsters.
Though its body is trapped
deep in the caverns, Shub-Niggurath travels the PMP
in astral form, using its psionic powers to do
and aid its worshipers.
