Editing Shoggoth (section)

==Call of Cthulhu==
Naturally, shoggoths make multiple appearances throughout the [[Call of Cthulhu]] roleplaying game, and are usually to be found in the corebook, given they are one of the more famous Mythosian monsters.

Even by CoC standards, shoggoths are absolutely ''beasts'' to fight. They can attack all creatures in a 5 yard by 5 yard area, and can "suck apart" any creature they touch if the victim fails a comparative STR check - even though the shoggoth has to divide its STR between its targets, it still has a whopping 18d6 STR score. Even if not insta-killed, the victims still take damage equal to the shoggoth's damage bonus and must roll equal to or less than their own STR on a d100 to be able to fight back. Defensively, shoggoths rely on their protoplasmic bodies; they take only 1 damage per hit from '''all''' physical weapons, halve fire and electrical damage, and regenerate 2 HP per round. They're so horrifying that even passing your SAN check means the sight of one will cost you 1d6 SAN, which admittedly is better than the 1d20 SAN you'll lose if you fail!
