From what I read..

So I was re-reading some H.P. Lovecraft and felt the need to whip this guy up. "Yogg" is a pretty down the middle name for a Lovecraftian elder god. Following "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" this small village has summoned Yogg from the mists of the sea town, long fallen into decay but not abandoned. Sea soaked planks, ever encroaching cliffs and a sickly mist surround the place. Population 120.

Yogg is BIG. And hungry.
