    Ah, so like how we can only pronounce Cthulhu as well....Cthulhu. Granted, we can probably look at these Illthid's, whereas the Great Old Ones, if we look at them, yeah.....or maybe that's just in there true forms.

    I can see that being a really good fit. You've even got the mask depicting the way the emerging Illithid deforms the host's body.

    Yeah I always thought the alienness of the Argonians was a good fit for Lovecraftian builds, I know Altmer is best from a gameplay perspective but I have a mod that lets you pick your own star signs so that will make it up.

    From a roleplay standpoint, illithids prefer uniformity and cast away all traits of their hosts. They do this because they fear that those little traits might trigger their host's memory and will somehow take control of their bodies, illithid included. A tail would definitely be one of those traits lol.

    However this behavior is typical of illithid communities and we've pretty much gone rogue so it's all good. Thought I'd throw some illithid knowledge out there :)

    Sweet. Also literally the only way to handle turning your Argonian flat-faced within the RP.
