This subject contains information from the Expanded Cthulhu Mythos, and not based on H.P. Lovecraft's works directly. The L'gy'hxians are a fictional alien species developed by Chaosium in 1994 for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. They were based on beings which appeared in Ramsey Campbell's "The Insects from Shaggai".

Description[]

A race of metallic cuboids around three feet in height, the L'gy'hxians are extremely strong and physically dense creatures. Originating from L'gy'hx , known as Uranus by the human race, they are not a hostile species, once even sharing their home planet with the refugee Shan. However, after discovering the loathsome rites the Shan practiced in worship of Azathoth, the L'gy'hx evicted them from their world.

The L'gy'hx worship Lrogg, an avatar of the Outer God Nyarlathotep, and show their devotion to him by mutilating themselves in bizarre rites.
