	~~{{Construction~~\|~~reason~~=~~Under Construction\|date~~=~~Feb 19~~, ~~2017}}~~		Unspeakable Possessors, AKA "Servants of Hastur", are from [[August Derleth]]'s "[[The Return of Hastur]]".


			==Description==
			<!--
			For best results, include a descriptive quote from the original source of the monster/race,
			followed by a fairly standard description of what the monster looks like, is, and does.
			An optional copyright-free illustration can be inserted with this code:
			[[File:File.png\|200px\|thumb\|right\|alt text]]

			<blockquote>
			And certainly they saw the thing that came crying out at us from the sinking ruins behind, the distorted caricature of a human being, with its eyes sunk to invisibility in thick masses of scaly flesh, the thing that flailed its arms bonelessly at us like the appendages of an octopus.
			<br>— [[August Derleth]], "[[The Return of Hastur]]"
			</blockquote>

			Grotesque octopus-like creatures created from the body of a wizard by [[Hastur]] the Unspeakable after the fulfillment of an [[Unspeakable Promise]] in exchange for a favor, to fulfill the caster's part of the bargain when the time comes; if the caster is dead when Hastur tries to possess the caster's body, then someone close to the caster will inherit the curse. Once possessed, the caster's flesh takes on a scaly, grey-green cast, as the caster's body begins to transform into a grotesque, bloated parody of the human form, before becoming an Unspeakable Possessor if the caster cannot fight off or destroy the possession until [[Aldebaran]] vanishes from the sky, or the sun rises, whichever happens first. If the possessor is not destroyed, then it will reattempt the possession the next time the conditions are right for it to resume its attack.

			==Heresies and Controversies==
			<!--
			Optional. This is a good place to include non-canon and controversial aspects of the creature's mythos.
			Suggested Alternative Theories include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation;
			"fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions;
			identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena;
			rumor and speculation... these contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos.
			* Alternative_theory. ([[source]])

			==Keeper Notes==
			<!-- Optional. Suggestions for using these creatures in the CoC RPG, and in fan-fiction. -->


			==Associated Mythos Elements==
