Fantastic! Just how I envisioned the Elder Things. I, strangely enough, have just finished listening to the HP Historical Societies' version of At The Mountains of Madness (via their Dark Radio Mystery Hour) and this fits right in perfectly with the Lovecraftian vision of the creators of the Shuggoths and of humanity. Nice work here!

Six feet end to end, three and five-tenths feet central diameter, tapering to one foot at each end. Like a barrel with five bulging ridges in place of staves. Lateral breakages, as of thinnish stalks, are at equator in middle of these ridges. In furrows between ridges are curious growths – combs or wings that fold up and spread out like fans. . . which gives almost seven-foot wing spread. Arrangement reminds one of certain monsters of primal myth, especially fabled Elder Things in the Necronomicon.
—H.P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness
