Fred stared at the One Shoggoth with envy. The demonic creature was all
tentacles and pulsating flesh and bubbling goo. Fred sure wished he
could look like that. And then he thought, why not? So he started to
concentrate real hard.
And then he began to feel it happen. The change. It started small at first. And slow. But it was powerful. And soon Fred could feel the power coursing through every inch of his body. So much power. The power to rend, to destroy. The power to grow, to change. The power to become what he was always destined to be -- a Shoggoth! "YES!" Fred shouted. The change was happening now! Fred stared down at himself ready to revel in his newborn tentacles and claws and slimy, goopy, iggly-wigglies. He would roar, he would smash, he would-- "Hey! What happened?" Fred cried. What happened was that nothing had happened. "Premature exultation," the One Shoggoth smirked, "try again." Although he was more than just a little abashed, Fred did indeed try again and this time by golly it worked. Fred felt his body heave and push in unnatural ways, he felt the power within him grow and expand. And then... POINK! Two extra arms burst out of his chest.
