Satyr

"In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming..." - English translation of Aklo verse This article is written on a topic within the Greater Cthulhu Mythos based on information from works in the Mythos. By default, all information is to be assumed to derive from the Lovecraft Myth Cycle unless otherwise marked.

Satyrs are mythical creatures often depicted as having the upper half of a man and the lower half of a goat. They are known to inhabit the French province of Averoigne (CIRCLE: "The Satyr", Clark Ashton Smith) and at least some of them are known to be servants of Sheila-Na-Gog, a possible avatar or alias for Shub-Niggurath, though it seems likely these hoofed servants are not true Satyrs but merely the origin for the Satyr legend. (EXP: "The Wedding of Sheila-Na-Gog", G. A. Rahman & R. L. Tierney, "The Moon-Lens" Ramsey Campbell)

Trivia Edit
