'''Mi-Go''' are a fictional race of [[Extraterrestrial life|extraterrestrials]] created by [[H. P. Lovecraft]] and used by others in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] setting. The aliens are fungus-based lifeforms which are extremely varied due to their prodigious surgical, biological, chemical, and mechanical skill. The variants witnessed by the protagonist of "[[The Whisperer in Darkness]]" resemble winged human-sized crabs.<ref name=Joshi>{{cite book |last1=Joshi |first1=S.

Mi-Go are first named as such in Lovecraft's short story "The Whisperer in Darkness" (1931). However, since they are described in this story as "fungi" that come "from Yuggoth," they can be considered an elaboration on earlier references to alien vegetation on dream-worlds in Lovecraft's [[sonnet cycle]] ''[[Fungi from Yuggoth]]'' (1929–30).
