Typhon's nature

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Their minions are the kind of "people" who seek to do their bidding, and 
they handle ruling over the masses by fear. "Yield, lest we flood your 
lands/barricade the harbor/blot the sun with smoke and ash/send 
pestilences, etc." The beasts themselves are smart enough to learn how 
to communicate with their Urthly minions by voice-like noises, writing, 
pictures, etc. if they didn't already know it when they got here.

For extra horror, Urthlings like the undines are bred and modified in 
order to better communicate with their uncanny and cyclopean soverigns.
