This battle is ridiculous. Kismet stomps. If we are using Lovecraft's Shub-Niggurath, then she has absolutely no feats what so ever. People highly overrate Lovecraftian entities here and it's becoming really annoying because the interpretations they come up with are not only not based on anything Lovecraft ever wrote, they also completely miss the point of what his stories are trying to tell. We know four things about Shub-Niggurath, she's worshiped by the Mi-Go and some human cults (so is Cthulhu and other such beings). She is supposedly the mother of a thousand 'Dark Young'. Lovecraft in a note described her "a hellish cloud-like entity". She is the supposed 'wife' of Yog-Sothoth, Yig, Hastur, or some other unknown being. She supposedly is mother to the entities Nug and Yeb, who are the parents of Cthulhu. However, besides Lovecraft's joke note, this is never hinted at in any of the stories. She, as well as her other kin and great old ones, use their cultist to defeat other old ones whom they consider evil. One of these beings is supposedly Cthulhu's son. Again, never really confirmed. There is a passage in "Dream Quest of the Unknown Kadath" that stats the other gods (aka 'outer gods' aka old ones FYI Lovecraft was never consistent with what he meant them to mean) were not as old as the Universe, with the sole exception of Azathoth. Who may or may not have predated and or created the universe. Her being the 'wife' of Yog-Sothoth is interesting when you take into consideration that he's a being that travels hyperspace that mutates all forms of life he tends to find. With all of that said, almost no Lovecraftian beings have feats to support the idea that they can battle beings like this. It's hardly even implied. Shub-Niggurath is more of a strange alien entity who is worshiped as a god by humans who don't know any better (knock on wood, Lovecraft's entire theme). So as it stands, Kismet stomps.
