The Galactic Squid

The Galactic Squid is an incredibly massive Celestial Squid that roams the outer parts of the universe. The squid is presumed to be one of the first of its kind, but the first recording of it was during the first exploration of the outer universe.

It is advised to never go towards the Galactic Squid for various reasons, one being that some of a ship's crew members could easily go mad and try to slaughter the rest of the crew. One theory as to why this happens is that the squid can pull a person's mind into it's own. There, it can command the person to do whatever it bids.

The Cult of the Deep Space Terror
The Cult of the Deep Space Terror is a cult that was formed after the first exploration of the outer universe. How the cult was formed was when the exploration ship had been extremely close to the Galactic Squid. Most of the crew have turned except for the fifty that were not affected. Almost all of the ones not affected by the squid were butchered, leaving only ten to escape.

The leader, one of the captains of the exploration, had then heard the Squid speak to him ten days later. The Squid had told him to be "cleansed of his humanity". After he had said this, his body began to change. His right arm was morphed into a spike tentacle, and the lower part of his mouth was changed into small mouth tentacles. The leader then proceeded to change the rest of his crew, turning them into horrible squid/octopus abominations. The leader then recieved another message from the Galactic Squid, telling him to "go and save the rest." Now, they go raiding ships and attacking planets, looking for people who "need to be saved".
