58. AVATAR OF YIG Beast, Cthulhu, Serpent
It seems that Yig, the snake-god of the central plains tribes—presumably the primal source of the more southerly Quetzalcoatl or Kukulcan—was an odd, half-anthropomorphic devil of highly arbitrary and capricious nature. He was not wholly evil, and was usually quite well-disposed toward those who gave proper respect to him and his children, the serpents; but in the autumn he became abnormally ravenous, and had to be driven away by means of suitable rites. That was why the tom-toms in the Pawnee, Wichita, and Caddo country pounded ceaselessly week in and week out in August, September, and October; and why the medicine-men made strange noises with rattles and whistles curiously like those of the Aztecs and Mayas.
-Zealia Bishop & H.P. Lovecract, The Curse Of Yig I try to include at least one of H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horrors in each of my sets. I thought that this set's tropical setting would be best served by Yig, the Father of Serpents (admittedly, HPL is really more of a co-creator, having extensively revised a story written by Zealia Bishop). Like the Avatar of Cthulhu from the first HorrorClix set, this monster is a temporary manifestation of one of the Great Old Ones trapped in the sunken city of R'lyeh. The miniature would depict a big, muscular man with scaly skin and the head of a serpent, with several snakes swarming at his feet.
