The mi-go - A creature from Lovecraft; a foul, winged monstrosity that looks something like a crab made out of fungus. These creatures are best known for stealing the brains of people and flying them home to Yuggoth, where they keep them in jars. And one of these critters lives in Wayward's basement. Are you sure this is such a great idea?

Of course you're sure. Besides, this particular mi-go is half your size and a bit of a screw-up.

After a brief search, you find it napping in a box of dryer-sheets. You kick the box to wake it up, and it glares at you sleepily. Well, at least you assume it glares; it hasn't got a face, just tentacles. "You tempt the wrath of a sorcerer of the Elder Gods, steel rose," the mi-go grumbles.

"You nap on dryer-sheets," you inform it. "I've got a long list of things that scare me, and you aren't on it. Now, I want to get Megatron out of my way so I can take over the Predacons. Got any spells for that?"

The mi-go mutters a bit, but gets out of bed. "Listen well, steel rose, for I offer a choice: I can tell you the words of a spell, or I can give you a potion that will make you so self-confidant as to be invinsible! Choose, child of Cybertron!"

Go with the spell.
Go with the potion.
