* [[Having a Gay Old Time]]: A more serious example, in which Lovecraft described Azathoth as ''The Nuclear Chaos''. At the time, "nuclear" referred to something in the center, as in nucleus. As time went on, "Nuclear" became associated with atomic energy and weapons. Latter writers took advantage of this, and made Azathoth the patron of radiation.

== ''Eihort'' ==
== ''Eihort'' ==
A giant gelatinous oval with many legs, Eihort wanders the labyrinth-like underground tunnels of [[Campbell Country|the Severn Valley]]. When encountering a mortal, Eihort will chase and corner them, then offer to lead them out of the tunnels in return for letting it implant its egg inside their body. Should they refuse, Eihort will just smash them into a bloody pulp...which isn't really worse than those who accept its offer, as the egg will eventually hatch, and the victim's body will ''shatter'' into countless brood of Eihort.

* [[Body Surf]]: The upside to Eihort's bargain: It'll let you experience other lives in other places. Of course, the reverse is true: Eihort's servants could jump into the Bargainer's body, and have that person face some rather horrible experiences.
