he did describe shub in some story... she looked like a wide, squat tree with lots of ropey, flailing branches... so actually, id software didn't completely miss the mark. 

That's from a rpgish Chtulhu based board game. Can't remember the name :(. And I'm pretty sure it's NOT shub. shub had a redish picture that looked remotely like the shub we know.

Honestly, this might be a decent way to spark up speed mapping again. Or, turtle maps at the very least. Post a picture and let the picture be the theme. That picture conjured up a bunch of stuff in my head when I looked at it...
