Shub-Niggurath is the end boss of Quake.

The mighty Shub-Niggurath turns out to be an enormous wad of lard with tentacles. She can't even attack, but watch out -- she has a lot of Vores and Shamblers guarding her, and more will spawn in occasionally. To kill her, you need to telefrag her. See the spikey ball that floats around the level? See the teleporter at the end of the monster- and trap-infested hallway? When you step in the teleporter, you will warp to the location of the spikey ball. Do it when the spikey ball enters Shub-Niggurath, and you'll blow her to pieces. If you do it some other time, you'll most likely fall into the lava.
