Yig, the Father of Serpents, is a fictional deity introduced in the H. P. Lovecraft revision story "The Curse of Yig". He is introduced as "the snake-god of the central plains tribes," and "a shunned and feared object in central Oklahoma."

Yig appears as a scaled, humanoid creature with a serpent’s head and lashing tail, but he can appear as any serpentine creature if he so wills. In his true form, Yig stands 14 feet tall and weighs 1,100 pounds.

Yig is the Great Old One of cycles, procreation, and serpents. He is undoubtedly the least evil among all Great Old Ones and Outer Gods, but he is still a terrifying deity willing to devour his own worshippers if he is hungry. 1.

These monster snakes are directed by Yig’s will or that of the god’s servants and may be found guarding sacred sites or artifacts. Otherwise, they may be directed to seek and strike at those who have displeased Yig—they are relentless hunters, who will trail their target until able to strike.
