I recall that the people went about with pale and worried faces, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had heard. A sense of monstrous guilt was upon the land, and out of the abysses between the stars swept chill currents that made men shiver in dark and lonely places.

Welcome the the first installment of the all-new Call of Cthulhu monster competitions, where you can post the most twisted horrors from your darkest dreams complete with CoC stats to win bragging wrights.
The theme for this month will be extra-terrestrial life forms.
RULES:
You will be creating an original Call of Cthulhu monster. No stealing from the internet, published source-books, or anything you've done before. The creature must be created specifically for the contest.
EXAMPLE: Bloodless Ones (http://josharpg.blogspot.com/2010/11/homebrew-monster-for-call-of-cthulhu.html)
There will be one entry per participant. You can create multiple variations on a single creature, but not multiple creatures.
The creatures created will not be directly based directly on the creations of Lovecraft. Although the monsters must fit the Cthulhu Mythos, they can not be based directly on Lovecraft's inventions.
There will be no chatting on this thread. This thread is strictly for posting monsters for the competition. Chatter will be posted here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10293189#post10293189).
Monster entries will be complete. No posting incomplete monster entries. They must all include a description and combat statistics; but sample encounters, lairs, and short-stories are also encouraged.
The contest ends March 1, at which point the playground will vote on their favorite monster entry.
