Description

"It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train — a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter."

-  H. P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness

Bonus:

"I had a little shoggoth
I conjured up one day
I used an elder sigil
So shoggoth and I play

Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth
With mouths and pseudopods
Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth
Foul creature of the gods

One day while we were playing
My monstrous pal broke free
I'd dropped the elder sigil
Li'l shoggy turned on me

Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth
He ripped me to a shred
Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth
We played and now I'm dead
"

Just wait until the Shoggoth meets the Thing.  It would either make for an epic battle down to the sub-cellular level, or it would result in some very strange slashfic.
