Origin: [[The Lurker in the Crypt]]

==Description==
A massive volume bound in red leather. This is a grimoire for the Bishop family. Its hundreds of pages are mostly filled with spidery handwriting by the same hand, with frequent annotations by a number of other hands.

As a source of Mythos infonnation, The Bishop Legacy reveals the rites and rituals necessary for the worship of Nyogtha, and even hints at the true nature of this Great Old One and its malign purpose here on Earth. The book also explains in detail the real Bishop legacy, to create a hybrid race of servants for Nyogtha by interbreeding the Great Old One and humanity.

The book records the problems that occur when Nyogtha mates directly with humanity, of how these monstrous hybrids swiftly degenerate into shapeless black abominations within a decade or two after ceasing growth. and of how this problem has a temporary solution in the crossbreeding of humans and ghouls prior to mating these hybrid horrors with Nyogtha.
