Trivia

• The logo of this item depicts a human skull splitting open, and sprouting out of the skull is what appears to be a blue slug; the symbol of the celestial beings known as the Kin. This is likely an indication of the madness-inducing effects of acquiring knowledge pertaining to the Kin; the more soft Insight you accumulate, the deeper your knowledge of the Great Ones grows, driven further away from sanity. Once insightful enough, one becomes aware of powerful Kin-type creatures (such as these), who are invisible to those oblivious of their existence.
