Zoogs are a race of rodent-like forest-dwelling pack predators native to the Dreamlands of the Cthulhu Mythos. Mentioned only in passing in the Dream-Cycle of H.P. Lovecraft, they are one of the many, many races who were basically reinvented from the ground up by Sandy Petersen and his team from Call of Cthulhu, with the largest source of such lore basically stemming from "Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos".

S. Petersen Fluff

Zoogs are intelligence, dangerous and amoral marsupial pack-predators, resembling ratfolk whose snouts sprout a dense forest of short, thin, prehensile tentacles and whose feet are secondary hands. They have two pouches on either side of their abdomen, and a complex social structure based on a combination of generation (the longer your ancestors lived in this one patch of terrain, the more important you are) and whether they were reared in their mother's "dominant" or "secondary" pouch. They are intensely respectful of contracts, but they also believe in sticking strictly to the letter of the law, not the spirit; if there's a loophole, then zoogs will exploit it, and sometimes do so even to their own detriment. Though omnivorous, they particularly enjoy the meat of sapient creatures.
