Yogg-Saron is indeed a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's Yog-Sothoth, The Lurker at the Threshold, The Key and the Gate, The Beyond One, Opener of the Way, The All-in-One and the One-in-All, much like C'Thun was a reference to his Cthulhu.

Unlike the C'Thun-Cthulhu connection (being in name only), Yogg-Saron functions much like Yog-Sothoth as a corrupter of all. Although, thankfully, the final boss of Ulduar is not omnipotent and omnipresent. :)

Lovecraft's fantasy is great and all, the roots of modern fantasy, and I know it would be hard to make your OWN tentacley evil god which corrupts everything without infringing on someone else's work, but you gotta wonder how many tributes and references Blizzard can possibly make before they're just copying people.

I'd just like to point out that this is unobtainable outside of the PTR. In other words you can't loot/buy/trade or otherwise get this shirt.

if this were real world stuff who do you think would be more powerfull: Yogg-Saron or C'thun at full power?

With respect, Yog-Saron is a barely a hint of a whisper to Lovecraft's Yog-Sothoth and also bears only a passing resemblance in function and name. Yog-Saron barely measures up as Yog-Sothoth "Lite".

The Lovecraft version is omniscient and omnipresent. Although co-terminus with this space-time continuum, it is nonetheless locked out of interacting within this universe directly. While its fate is co-determined by this universe, its influlence is limited to its cults, and the rare breaches in reality (which, unsurprisingly, comprise the basis for most of the stories). Hardly the sort of entity a bunch of 'uppity' titans could 'lock-up' in any meaningful manner within any sort of vault. Being extra-celestial, you could even regard it as the oyster, and the universe as its pearl (irritant). Or perhaps just regard it as the manifestation of primordial chaos, if you will. In any case, it would make the Burning Legion look like a Cub Scouts Jambourie by comparison.

I think it's fair to suggest that both C'thun and Yog-Saron are merely meant as a nod of respect by the dev team to Lovecraft as one of the giants in gothic horror literature.

Let's hope the trend continues and we get to see the WoW version of a Shogoth in some later adventure! (The AD&D version would be the "Gibbering Mouther").

Speaking of... does anyone else notice more than a passing resemblance of the murlocs to the deep ones? Can Dagon be far behind?

Saurfang has this shirt except his last for 1000000000000000000000 years

I think the desciption on this item is a reference to Martin Fury and it's abuse by Karatechop, since he one-shotted ulduar-25 with it and got full ulduar 25 gear. I may be wrong though... (I don't know which came first, the abuse or this shirt, as it MAY not been created for uluar-25 testing, but created later, i don't know...)
