(urth) Father Inire: teratoid

[DAVID STOCKHOFF]

I hadn't actually read the page. Funny---something about symbols creating reality comes to mind.

Thanks. I like that idea of something simliar to the biohazard sign, but different enough that we don't look at it and see 20th century. Thanks for the article link. I like how the designer looks for it everywhere he goes.~witz

I envision a radially symmetric set of horns, perhaps 3 pairs like the biohazard symbol. In fact, it may even be that symbol Wolfe was thinking of---since monsters from other planets are technically a biohazard, including those that are very very small and get into your bloodstream as well as those that stomp around eating people---but it isn't usually red.
However, see http://www.hms.harvard.edu/orsp/coms/biosafetyresources/history-of-biohazard-symbol.htm for a red one.

So, of course I'm trying to figure out what this teratoid symbol LOOKS like.
I see that it is mostly a medical term for monstrous abnormality and tumours and such., but I don't find associated symbols with an image search.

I own the comic that comes up in the keyword search, Teratoid Heights. It's a lovely gem of mutant monster stream of concious lo fi comix, but it doesn't help me draw the door to this chamber of mirrors. Anyone have a
 suggestion?
