Mi-Go Brain Cylinder

Overview

Miskatonic seal ME-1932-N70/4721 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `mi-go-brain-cylinder`.

Field notes on Mi-Go Brain Cylinder read like zoology until the specimen looks back and the notebook stops mid-sentence.

Taxonomists at Miskatonic classed Mi-Go Brain Cylinder provisionally; the creature has not agreed to the classification.

Lovecraft's own prose — when he is the witness — should be read in the /library before this summary is trusted. Posthumous expansion (Derleth, Smith, Campbell, Wilson, and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.
