Yugioh's Most Horrific Archetype

H.P. Lovecraft has contributed greatly to the horror genre ever since he began writing, giving rise to a new type of horror dubbed "cosmic horror" and inspiring many writers, directors, and game designers to come. His works are so influential that the trading card game, Yu-gi-oh, has even taken note. Today, we address the lore of Entity, Yu-gi-oh's most horrific archetype.
