Description
Roughly the same size as an adult human, the Mi-go appear crustacean or insectiod in nature but are actually a type of fungal lifeform. Their heads are lozenge-shaped, with a mane of small antennae, their bodies have multiple pairs of limbs attached to the thorax, and they sport a pair of large wings which, while not particularly effective in an atmosphere, allow them to traverse the depths of space at a considerable speed. In addition, sufficiently low temperatures will simply cause a Mi-go to enter a kind of suspended animation; subsequent exposure to a suitable heat source will reanimate the creature, whereby it will continue about its business with no ill effects.
Some sources also state that the Mi-go cannot be captured through the use of conventional recording devices, as their bodies are composed of a strange otherworldly substance which does not show up on such equipment.
History
Where the Mi-go originate is a mystery, but it is known that they have established a colony on Yuggoth, a planet on the outskirts of our solar system, and that at least a handful make their home on Earth, although they are inimically hostile to the human race.
The Mi-go are also believed to worship (or at least pay lip-service to) the Outer Gods Shub-Niggurath and Nyarlathotep, and their colony on Yuggoth is known to house many designs which can be used in the furtherance of the rituals described in the Necronomicon; however, the Mi-Go have a mystical sense which allows them to tell when these designs are being transcribed by humans, and they will ruthlessly hunt down and exterminate any with copies in their possession.
