Shugguraths are large bulbous flying cephalopods with tentacle-like limbs that are native to Elpis, specifically to Triton Flats. They spawn in various elements and act as hives, spawning Rathyds of their same element.
It is recommended to fight Shugguraths in a vehicle, as the additional firepower helps in taking down both the mother Shuggurath and its spawned Rathyds. Shugguraths, however, become more aggressive when attacked by a vehicle, and are more likely to use their deadlier attacks. Fighting Shugguraths on foot is possible, but their highly damaging attacks makes it significantly more difficult.

Trivia[]
- The name "Shuggurath" is a reference to the Lovecraftian deity Shub-Niggurath
- In the Lovecraftian mythos, Shub Niggurath is also known as the "mother of a thousand young", Shugguraths in-game also reference that as they spawn Rathyds continuously.
