Description

One of my favourites from Lovecraft's pantheon.:) Description of half-anrophomorphic snake was inspired by Thulsa Doom from Conan movie.:)

"It seems that Yig, the snake-god of the central plains tribes—presumably the primal source of the more southerly Quetzalcoatl or Kukulcan—was an odd, half-anthropomorphic devil of highly arbitrary and capricious nature. He was not wholly evil, and was usually quite well-disposed toward those who gave proper respect to him and his children, the serpents;"

Very cool! I like the Thulsa Doom inspired look, but I always imagined Lovecraft's Yig to be the equivalent or the same as Howand's Set, seeing how they often interlaced their lore in their stories.
