The yezkralk is an anatomical structure borrowed from the ghaa'ghu, though of course improved upon -- an endoskeleton. Though most shoggothim prefer the natural flexibility of a carculgnath form, it cannot be argued that a properly constructed endoskeleton significantly improves one's raw power and durability. Of course, this comes at a cost in the aforementioned flexibility, both in terms of some impediment to one's natural agility and a loss of fluidity of substance -- though the innate flexibility of fl'hlgath itself is unhindered: it is generally little trouble to uvgulth a yezkralk and flgathl it again should the situation demand. Multiple yezkralku function in tandem readily, as one naturally expects of well-made shoggoth flgathu.
