Yuggoth is another world, inhabited by creatures known as the Fungi from Yuggoth.[2]
It was a strange grey world,[2] covered in a grey fog.[3]
History
Hyborian Age[]
During the Hyborian Age, Yuggoth's name was invoked by priests of Set along with those of Set and R'lyeh.[1]
Modern Age[]
Two humans somehow ended up on Yuggoth, and were soon assaulted by the Fungi. One escaped using a torch, while the other was captured and brought upon an altar[3] dedicated to the Nameless One.[2] The second was eventually caught as well.[3]Residents
Notes
- Yuggoth is a fictional planet in the Cthulhu Mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft stated that it could be the same as Pluto.[4]
