'''Shub-Niggurath, Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young''', is the Great Old One and/or Outer God of Fertility in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] created by [[H.P. Lovecraft]]. She is one of the most famous of the Outer Gods, alongside [[Nyarlathotep]], [[Yog-Sothoth]] and [[Azathoth]], and she tends to pop up in a lot of places, including as the main antagonist of [[Quake]].

In Pathfinder, Shubby appears as the ever popular roiling mass of flesh, mouths, eyes and tentacles. Neothelids, rather than being overgrown illithid tadpoles, were spawned by her in the Age of Creation.

==Dark Young==
The '''Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath''' are the most well-known spawn and servitors of Shub-Niggurath, in case you haven't figured it out from their name. These strange creatures resemble twisted, deformed trees from a distance, at least so long as they are at rest; they stride across the land on surprisingly goat-like legs, and have no bodily features save for one or more maws scattered around their body. From the top of their trunk-like torso emerges a random number of writhing, octopus-like tentacles.
