The Xiclotlans are a fictional race created by Ramsey Campbell for his Cthulhu Mythos short story "The Insects from Shaggai". In 1994, Chaosium incorporated them into the roleplaying game Call of Cthulhu.
Background[]
The Xiclotlans are a carnivorous race of low intellect and great strength, which were enslaved by the insects of Shaggai and were used by them for labor until they left the planet, although some Xiclotlan slaves were brought to Earth along with their insectoid masters. They are 16 ft tall with six tentacles and a maw at the top. On Xiclotl they are ruled over by the Zy'tl Q'ae, to whom they make periodic sacrifices.
