Shub-Niggurath is a deity invoked in the Necronomicon's passage on Yog-Sothoth and the Old Ones with the ritual cry 'Iä Shub-Niggurath!'

Shub-Niggurath appears in the Necronomicon text that Wilbur Whateley sought at Miskatonic University, invoked amid the passage on Yog-Sothoth and the Old Ones with the exclamation 'Iä Shub-Niggurath!' — a name of dread reverence among the cults that traffic with such forces.
