All of these degenerate genetic mutations have a
thousand origins, but all are variants of Mythos satyrs.
Hobbling, chuckling, mewling, and enthusiastic
creatures are the frequent result of contact with the
outside. A typical Mythos satyr starts out at human
size, then grows. They rarely reach colossal size,

instead topping out at around 400–600 pounds and

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Eldritch Devotion (Ex) A Mythos satyr treats its Wisdom
or Charisma score as being 2 points higher than its
actual value for the purposes of determining the
number of bonus divine spells it can cast and the
save DCs of its spells if it gains levels in a class
capable of casting divine spells, but only if it also
worships a Great Old One or Outer God.
Warped Mind (Ex) A Mythos satyr’s mind is as
twisted as its body. It gains a +2 bonus on all
saving throws against mind-affecting effects, and once

per day as a swift action, it can reroll a failed Will save.
When it does so, it must take the result of the second
roll, but it gains a +4 bonus on this reroll rather than the
typical +2 bonus for being a Mythos satyr.

There are many ways for humanity to become
animalistic and vile under the influence of the outside.
Lovecraft’s tales show humans degenerating into
monstrous quadrupeds in The Rats in the Walls, the
cannibal monster Martense family in The Lurking
