Playing a Shoggoth is a true learning experience, much like playing one of the more complicated guilds. Although it costs lux to start one from scratch (and one that has the freedom to guild in whatever they desire) it has been suggested that playing as a shapeshifter may be a better way to get the hang of Shoggoth before jumping in head first. However, if you do want to jump in, I have some pointers and thoughts you should read over before doing so.
First, and most importantly, you want to maximize your attributes in character generation. Shoggoth grow naturally over time (in the Shoggoth language, their vorgaal increases - which is directly correlated to your size statistic.) Ergo, it makes little sense to favor size in character generation, when it will grow on its own outside of it.
The more vorgaal you have, the more organs - or strunth - you can possess at one time. I have yet to determine if any skills, attributes or else increase or decrease vorgaal growth speed, but at the time of this writing, it appears you grow one vorgaal about every hour of in game time. This means a considerable time investment (or at least tick training) on your part. Consider that before
