The Great Ancients as a whole count, too, as according to the Book of Yhe, they can also be subjugated or destroyed by the Talisman, whereas in most stories, they range from Nigh-Invulnerable to completely immortal. Furthermore, he is subservient to the Talisman of Yhe. Here, he appears as a tall demon who was overpowered by a group of knights and had his dismembered remains scattered across England. In most stories, Shubby is depicted as a cloudlike Great Old One (or Outer God) who can spawn an endless number of tentacled abominations at will.

Luckily, a fan reconstruction of the unified version of each season is available, and can be played on Blue Maxima's Flashpoint, with menus, cinematics, lore sections, and save games all intact. Season 2 suffered a similar but milder fate after the loss of its host site, with some assets (mainly lore sections) no longer viewable and save games no longer functional (however, music and cinematics were not missing in this case).

Gregor MacDermoth and his daughter, Ophelia, a trio of paranormal investigators from The Roaring '20s.
