Hastur's Star Spawn

Much like his half-brother Cthulhu, Hastur can create small clones of himself to act as his minions. Unfortunately for him a handful of them have broken from his control and rebelled against him. Now living under a species-wide witness protection program within the local galactic community, these former minions often work as consultants in matters regarding "chaotic fluctuations in space/time", a.k.a. magic. Many carry an Elder Sign in order to ward of any possible attempts at Hastur regaining control over them.

They're also one of the few races to know that Idiot Fluteplayers are more than just a noisy nuisance but the key to one of the greatest secrets of the universe.

Robo-Angel

I got inspired to draw this after playing the 2016 Doom game. If demons can become cyborgs, why not angels?

Big Yellow


Hastur, known for being part of the Cthulhu mythos but originating as a deity mentioned in a short story by Ambrose Bierce

Hastur, aka The Thing in Yellow, the Golden Shepard, Master of the Slithering Sea, That Bastard, Big Yellow, and many other names that incorporate the word ‘yellow’. It’s kind of his schtick.

Stationed on the moon Charon within the aformentioned slithering sea and served by multitude of Star Spawn servants (essentially small clones of himself), he seeks to conquer Pluto as an important stepping stone to becoming the dominant Great Old One in our Solar System. The ongoing resistance of the Mi-Go and their Ancestor Warriors have been a continual thorn in his side.

One Truth and One Secret

Strewth is psychologically and physiologically unable to tell a falsehood. Strewth's origins vary, some say they're a life-form grown from a Bejesus feather, others say that they're another of Gosh's divine messengers. People would ask, but Strewth hasn't been seen for years.

No one knows who Snap is.

Beings of Exclamation

Great Caesar's Ghost is the spirit of a departed leader the the Eternal City (the name was a misnomer, it turned out). Once tried to build a tower into High Heaven, saw something while at the very top, stuff went down, and is now a ghost. Now he acts as a monitor of the worldly plane, and basically tries to warn people away from acts of folly and hubris.

You know when you see something that leaves you speechless and you whistle in astonishment? The Whistler did that when it saw the birth of the world. Technically qualifying as a wind god, the Whistler has mastery over wind instruments such as flutes, fifes, and whistles of all sorts. And cleanliness, some believe. It is commonly agreed that the Whistler whistling in astonishment on the seventh day of Kingdom Come will officially signal the end of the world. Last seen performing an impromptu concert on an asteroid to a small group of little green men and foos.

Messenger of the Minced Oaths Pantheon

Odgka (pronounced Odge-Kaa), the official messenger of the Gods, an appointed mortal temporarily transformed into a demi-god at certain points of their life whenever the gods need a gofer.

Gosh has a sibling, a deity who specializes in babbling incoherency and flute playing madness.

Titano-lisk

Titanosaurus 1998, as a mutated basilisk lizard. Again, mutated due to atomic testing in French Polynesia ala American Godzilla 1998, as well as my takes on American Baragon and Anguirus.
Why were so many varied species of lizard located on French Polynesia? In a world where radiation can turn animals into giant superbeasts, maybe they French where experimenting with mutation. Maybe they had a think tank on the islands that included studying alternate forms of energy and a reptile house of exotic reptiles, and the two meeting was an accident. Who knows?
Anyways, Titanosaurus migrates to the waters off the coasts of India and Japan, decreasing fish populations and spooking ships, creating a rumor of "a giant goldfish" attacking fishing ships. Designed to be an analog of Godzilla, with a bit more hadrosaur elements.

Manda-Stropheus

Manda as a Tanystropheus.

Can't say that Manda's long/chinese dragon design was not as impressive when placed in the same setting as Godzilla or Ghidorah. I felt like tanystropheus was a nice fit. Serpentine, aquatice, reptillian, toothy.

The neck was originally going to be a lot longer, but it didn't sit right with me.

Baragon's Kids

So after being used for Frankenstein Conquers the World, the Baragon suit was used to make the monsters Pagos, Neronga, Gabora, and Magura for the Ultraman series. So it’s a little bit like he has descendants. Sea Baragon and 2001 Baragon are thrown in for good measure.

Godzilla-Raptor

Godzilla as a Dromaeosaur 

Don't get me wrong, feathers are an important part of depicting any kind of raptor, and most theropod dinosaurs. I just like the idea that being mutated by an atomic blast burned all his feathers off and they grew back sparsely and in weird ways.

Almost didn't do this one, on account of a Godzilla with raptor features could just end up being Zilla/Gino/Godzilla1998. Adding Godzilla's distinctive low center of gravity as well as (hopefully) appropriately positioned raptor arms helped move it along.

Anguirus 1998

American Anguirus

Anguirus as a mutated Red Eyed Crocodile Skink, mutated by atomic testing in French Polynesia, ala Zilla and Baragon 1998. I'll leave it up to you to figure so many exotic lizard species were affected by it.

In 1998 American Godzilla movie, Godzilla's name is depicted as a mispronunciation of the original name Gojira, which in the film's world is derived from a Japanese "mythological sea dragon that filled their hearts with fear". This certainly was meant to be some filler text to justify the movie's title name, and, but what if there was more to it? What if in the movie's setting it's part of an international disinformation campaign to cover-up an occurrence in 1954 Japan, the events of the original Godzilla movie? Or what if in this world Godzilla and all associated monsters are actually elements of east Asian mythology, with Gojira literally being a dragon/lóng? What if they weren't just myths?

Anyways, the idea is that this Anguirus got his name because he's buddies with Zilla Junior, and in the myth, Gojira's ally had the same name.

Plateo-Zilla

Godzilla as a Plateosaur.

One idea I've read is that Godzilla might be derived from some sort of carnivorous or omnivorous plateosaur, sort of like the inverse of therizinosaurs. An interesting idea.

I was surprised to learn while researching for this that prosauropods aren't really a scientifically classified clade anymore. They've been absorbed into the sauropodomorph suborder.

Cephalo-Zilla

Godzilla as a pacheycephalosaur. Godzilla is ostensibly a theropod dinosaur in some of the movies, so I thought it would be a nice exercise to apply Godzilla features of other families of dinosaurs.
