* ALoadOfBull: The Mythos Dossiers brings its own take on the minotaur in the form of Asterion Snarl. Like the medusa in "The Concrete Jungle", it's not an actual intermingling of man and bull so much as possession by a low-grade demon that results in increased bulk, monstrous rage, bone-like growths from the head, and a penchant to wander around labyrinthine structures. It's possible for the minotaurs to reproduce, however, resulting in a child that doesn't lack in size and easily makes up for its parent in mental stability.



* ShoutOut: One of the geekier employees of The Laundry was recruited when his Delta Green mod for VideoGame/NeverwinterNights tripped its alarms.

* TheFairFolk: The RPG brings faeries into the universe of cthulhoid "information entities." Like the series' demons, they're made up of information strung together through an electromagnetic field, explaining why iron messes them up so badly; similarly, it's said they appear rarely in modern Britain, given how the nation is wired to the gills. They do take children, however, and changelings are explained away as a class four {{Glamour}} placed over a poppet made of twigs and string to make it look like it's a real child. And the kids? They're [[BodyHorror turned into biological computation matrices]] in order to sustain a field that will keep the faerie in our world.
