	Bugg-Shash, "The Drowner", is a gelatinous creature with innumerable human-like eyes and mouths within its black mass.

	Lone cultists are generally warned against trying to summon the treacherous Bugg-Shash, but might attempt to do so anyway for misguided reasons of their own; if the wizard is not completely mad or foolish such summonings should include the preparation of a living sacrifice to distract the gluttonous Bugg-Shash from inflicting a hideous Death upon its summoner. The sorts of favors and tasks a wizard might ask or demand of Bugg-Shash in return seem to be largely limited by Bugg-Shash's difficult-to-control and almost single-minded purpose and business of death and ruin.

	Bugg-Shash is associated with the reanimated dead; thus, it might play a role in a sort of "zombie apocalypse" scenario, or it might be associated with liches, or with bodies that have "come back wrong" after being reanimated by The Drowner, only to return to its loved ones with a malevolent personality in control of the body. Thus, there might be a great deal of temptation among even good people to summon Bugg-Shash to perform a "miracle" and raise a dead child or other loved one.
