![]() ![]() The narrator of "The Whisperer in Darkness" learns that, ostensibly, a group known as the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign is dedicated to hunting down and exterminating the fungoid threat, though it is unknown if this is actually true since it was given as a pat explanation for the Mi-Go remaining hidden. It is said that transcriptions of these designs can be sensed by the Mi-Go, and those possessing them shall be hunted down by the few remaining on Earth. One of the moons of Yuggoth holds designs that are sacred to the Mi-Go these are useful in various processes mentioned in the Necronomicon. ![]() Their moral system is completely alien, making them seem highly malicious from a human perspective. In " The Whisperer in Darkness" the Mi-Go are heard to give praise to Nyarlathotep and Shub-Niggurath, suggesting some form of worship. The Mi-Go can transport humans from Earth to Pluto (and beyond) and back again by removing the subject's living brain and placing it into a "brain cylinder", which can be attached to external devices to allow it to see, hear, and speak. They are capable of going into suspended animation until softened and reheated by the sun or some other source of heat.

Several other races in Lovecraft's Mythos also have wings like these. They possess a pair of membranous bat-like wings which are used to fly through the " aether" of outer space. They are about five feet (1.5 m) long, and their crustacean-like bodies bear numerous sets of paired appendages. The Mi-Go are large, pinkish, fungoid, crustacean-like entities the size of a man where a head would be, they have a "convoluted ellipsoid" composed of pyramided, fleshy rings and covered in antennae. However, since they are described in this story as "fungi" that come "from Yuggoth," they can be considered an elaboration on earlier references to alien vegetation on dream-worlds in Lovecraft's sonnet cycle Fungi from Yuggoth (1929–30). Mi-Go are first named as such in Lovecraft's short story "The Whisperer in Darkness" (1931). The variants witnessed by the protagonist of " The Whisperer in Darkness" resemble winged human-sized crabs. The aliens are fungus-based lifeforms which are extremely varied due to their prodigious surgical, biological, chemical, and mechanical skill. ![]() The word Mi-Go comes from "Migou", a Tibetan word for yeti. Lovecraft and used by others in the Cthulhu Mythos setting. Mi-Go are a fictional race of extraterrestrials created by H. Khannea SunTzu's interpretation of a Mi-Go ![]()
