Editing Dimensional Shambler (section)

==In the Mythos==
The Dimensional Shamblers first appeared in H.P. Lovecraft's story "The Horror in the Museum". They ''might'', emphasis ''might'', also be the same as the eponymous entities described in Clark Ashton Smith's story "The Hunters from Beyond"; the publication of which predates Lovecraft's tale by a year.

Little is known about these beings who seem capable of walking between the planes and worlds of the cosmos, never spending much time at any location. It is unknown whether they are a distinct interdimensional species or constructs created in the deep passages of time to serve a higher power, but are now free to roam where they will. Rumours suggests that these entities occasionally serve the Outer Gods and Great Old Ones, yet their individual motivations and purpose remain a mystery.

The Shamblers come from a lower dimension described as "a long, gray, oozing plain, beneath skies where the fumes of Hell were writhing like a million ghostly and distorted dragons." In this dimension thousands if not more Dimensional Shamblers live. Humans sucked into this dimension sink into the gray ooze to have their minds and souls eaten by the Shamblers.

The official description of Dimensional Shamblers from 1933's "The Horror in the Museum" portrays a Shambler as a black-colored half-ape, half-insect. This is one of the areas that contradict the creatures from 1932's "The Hunters from Beyond", where they are pale grey in color and have a canine-meets-ape appearance. The official Lovecraft wiki includes this description, but fails to clarify which story it's taken from:
::''These "hunters from beyond" appear as short crouching creatures with tight grey mummy like skin. Its head is semi ape like and semi canine, and has crooked stained fangs. Its eyes are recessed in deep eye holes and appear as yellow slits. It has long arms with huge claws. Though it has the appearance of being material the Dimensional Shamblers originate from a different dimension, making it immaterial in our world, making it unable to touch or be touched.''
