For years, it was kept in the Whately's barn, being fed animals as it continued to grow and change. Finally, the entity grew to a large enough size to burst from the barnhouse and go on a rampage through the countryside. The monster was eventually stopped by Professor Henry Armitage, who managed to destroy it via a spell from the ancient Necronomicon. The hideous creature's first and last words were a cry to help from its father before it was obliterated by a bolt of magical lightning.

Is it that we naturally conceive terror from such objects, considered in their capacity of being able to inflict upon us bodily injury? O, least of all! These terrors are of older standing. They date beyond body - or without the body, they would have been the same... That the kind of fear here treated is purely spiritual - that it is strong in proportion as it is objectless on earth, that it predominates in the period of our sinless infancy - are difficulties the solution of which might afford some probable insight into our ante-mundane condition, and a peep at least into the shadowland of pre-existence.”
