Overview
Miskatonic seal ME-1926-F37/9394 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `polypous`.
Field notes on Polypous Entity read like zoology until the specimen looks back and the notebook stops mid-sentence.
Generic term for Ubbo-Sathla's crawling children in Smith.
Period attestation: lovecraft-1920s.
What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
Description
Amorphous, many-limbed, bred from primordial slime.
Sensory reports conflict in detail — scale, colour, limb count — yet agree that the phenomenon offends proportion.
Olfactory notes in depositions: salt, copper, wet stone, and organic sweetness like fruit fermenting in a closed room.
Historical Record
Do not confuse with flying polyps of Yithian war.
Post-1937 pastiche and game supplements multiplied references; the archive tags those layers expanded mythos unless a primary citation is supplied.
Cross-links at dossier foot should be treated as hypotheses, not as family trees carved in stone.
Field Observations
Do not engage alone; do not accept hospitality from hosts who show windows to other eras.
Submit Form Theta-9 if conversation turns to cities remembered only in sleep.
Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
Archive Notes
Cite archive slug `polypous` in all cross-references. Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
