[[File:|thumb|600px|]] The dark young are the descendants of the evil entity Shub-Niggurath. They are mostly solitary and feed on the body fluids and internal organs of other creatures. They have three feet, tentacles on their heads, many mouths and are as tall as a tree. Dark young are never found indoors and prefer to reside in forests where the trees camouflage them. |
