A Color Out of Space's Best Friend Is (Lovecraft Monster Spoilers)

[Drakli]

...A Bag of Rats!

Seriously, though, would a swarm of rats... or better, a colony of ants; suffice to feed a Color Out of Space into adulthood as well as stalking more complex and larger, but less numerous organisms, like farmhouses of humans?

Is there a minimum... I don't know, life force required from a creature to fuel an actual growth point?

And... do the Star Spawn of Cthulhu really lack damage reduction?

But other than those odd questions, I love seeing Lovecraft-ian monsters in Pathfinder. Speculating how The Color Out of Space might work has taken up a lot of my time in the past.

Haven't bought my copy yet but is the SSoC counted as an Aberration?

IIRC not many Abberrations get DR

Hey Drakli,

I was actually hunting you down online as I seem to have lost all means of communicating with you! Hope all is well, and hopefully I found the right fellow... otherwise... I still hope all is well, I guess!

From the dreaded and anachronistic viewpoint of Science! I'd be curious how it interacts with microscopic organisms. Could one assume that mutations to bacteria could occur through exposure, or would their rapid reproduction help prevent the effects? Could the effects of any mutations be initially worse than the colour itself? Perhaps a plague caused by a mutated bacterial strain would be the first visible sign of its corruption.

Or... What about all the beneficial bacteria in our digestive system?
Assuming micro-organisms would be affected more quickly due to their size, would the first symptom of exposure to a colour out of space be severe indigestion?

Anyway have a good one and hoping to get in touch.
