| − | "Danforth has on rare occasions whispered disjointed and irresponsible things about 'the black pit', 'the carven rim', 'the '''proto-shoggoths''' ', 'the windowless solids with five dimensions', 'the nameless cylinder', 'the elder pharos', '[[Yog-Sothoth]]', 'the primal white jelly', 'the colour out of space', 'the wings', 'the eyes in darkness', 'the moon-ladder', 'the original, the eternal, the undying', and other bizarre conceptions; but when he is fully himself he repudiates all this and attributes it to his curious and macabre reading of earlier years. He, indeed, is known to be among the few who have ever dared go completely through that worm-riddled copy of the ''[[Necronomicon]]'' kept under lock and key in the [[Orne_Library|college library]]."

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 contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos. -->

| − | * Proto-Shoggoths are smaller, more flexible/liquid [[Shoggoth]]s, lacking the mutational qualities of Shoggoths but instead holding the ability to maintain a shape (such as humanoid) for extended amounts of time, perhaps with the help of a stiff human-shaped suit of leather, rubber, etc. ([[Sandy Petersen]])
