Shub-Niggurath is an Outer Goddess created by H.P. Lovecraft. She is a perverse fertility deity and the spouse of Yog-Sothoth, who is commonly called The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, since she is known to have spawned several of the Great Old Ones.

Overview
Shub-Niggurath is the offspring of the Darkness, who in turn was spawned by Azathoth. She became the spouse of Yog-Sothoth, with whom she spawned many beings, among them Nug and Yeb, who in turned spawned Cthulhu and Tsathoggua.
