Description

'E hu shub niggur ath n gaa ryula neb shoggoth.'

That's as close as I can come. The mouths was like leaves and the whole thing was like a tree in the wind, a black tree with lots of branches trailing to the ground, and a whole lot of roots ending in hoofs. And that green slime dribbling out of the mouths and down the legs was like sap!...   It came crawling up the hillside to the alter and the sacrefice, and it was the black thing of my dreams-that black ropy, slimy, jelly tree-thing out of the woods. It crawled up and it flowed up on its hoofs and mouths and snaky arms. And the men bowed and stood back and then it got to the alter where they was something squirmin on top, squirming and screaming.

- Robert Bloch, "Notebook Found In a Deserted House."

I think -and I may be wrong,going by a corupted memory- they were mentioned in THE GOLDEN BOUGH as the Trees that Walk
