Mythos[]
Nug first appeared in the story The Last Test (H.P. Lovecraft and Adolphe de Castro, 1927).
Nug and Yeb are two minor Mythos entities, the true origin and significance of which remain a mystery. They are said to be the children of Shub-Niggurath and Yog-Sothoth, and in turn have given birth to Cthulhu by way of asexual fission. On the other hand, others allege that Nug and Yeb are the spawn of Shub-Niggurath and Hastur the Unspeakable; this seems more likely, considering that these beings are often mentioned together.
Nug and Yeb were worshiped together in Irem, Mu, and K'n-yan.[1]
