This subject contains information from the "Lovecraft Circle" Myth Cycles, and while guided by HPL are not based on his work alone. The progeny of Yig are half-human, half-snake hybrid creatures that result from the curse of the snake-god Yig: either the humans turned into snakes for offending Yig, or else the offspring of such humans.

The child of Audrey Davis is the one such creature seen in "The Curse of Yig".

Note that the Children of Yig in the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game are the regular snakes that Yig is viewed as the protector of, rather than human/snake hybrids.
