'''Formless Spawn''' are a servitor race closely associated with [[Tsathoggua]] and often found his cavernous temples.

Both Tsathoggua and his Formless Spawn were created by [[Clark Ashton Smith]] in his 1929 story [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Satampra_Zeiros|''The Tale of Satampre Zeiros''] and also appeared in H.P. Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop's 1930 story [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mound_%28short_story%29|''The Mound''].

<blockquote>''"Then two arms—if one could call them arms—likewise arose inch by inch, and we saw that the thing was not, as we had thought, a creature immersed in the liquid, but that the liquid itself had put forth this hideous neck and head, and was now forming these damnable arms, that groped toward us with tentacle-like appendages in lieu of claws or hands!"'' 
— Clark Ashton Smith, ''The Tale of Satampre Zeiros''</blockquote>

<blockquote>''"When the men of K’n-Yan went down into N’Kai’s black abyss with their great atom-power searchlights, they found living things—living things that oozed along stone channels and worshipped onyx and basalt images of Tsathoggua. But they were not toads like Tsathoggua himself. Far worse—they were amorphous lumps of viscous black slime that took temporary shapes for various purposes. The explorers of K’N-Yan did not pause for detailed observations, and those that escaped alive sealed the passage."'' 
— H.P. Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop, ''The Mound''</blockquote>
