Zoog
Zoog — a species or servitor line; field taxonomy provisional, behaviour not. Register ME-1926-N83/4818.
Overview
Miskatonic seal ME-1926-N83/4818 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `zoog`.
Zoog is indexed as species or servitor because bullets sometimes delay it; do not mistake delay for mastery.
Small furry denizens of the Enchanted Wood who trade dreams for food.
Period attestation: lovecraft-1930s.
If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
Description
Capable of kidnapping dreamers; Carter negotiated rather than fought them.
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
Their elders remember secrets of Kadath but fear the cats of Ulthar.
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.
