- In ChulhuTech, the Migou appeared as an antagonist force in the setting of the role-playing game. The Migou had an empire that spanned galaxies with Pluto being the closest outpost to Earth in this vast intergalactic empire. The Migou attempted to conquer Earth to enslave humanity in the mid-21st century via the use of an army of human clones that were the jet black skinned red-eyed Nazzadi. During the First Arcanotech War (2059-2065 AD), approximately 40% of humanity was killed (over a billion) and much devastation was done to Earth. Once the Nazzadi discovered they were clones of the humans in 2064 AD, there was a short civil war among them which ended in victory for the pro-Earth Nazzadi who made peace with the humans and defected to their side. Though a minority remained loyal to the Mi-go and continued guerrilla warfare. The Second Arcanotech War (2074-2078 AD), began when the Migou decided to conquer Earth themselves. They quickly annihilated human colonies and bases throughout the Solar System and then invaded Earth. First they seized the polar regions and then conquered the Nordic countries, Tasmania, Northwestern Canada (Nunavut and Northwest Territories), Alaska, Iceland, the southern end of Argentina, Greenland, and most of Russia. Billions of humans died in this invasion. In 2078 A.D., the situation changed. The machinations of the cults and agents of the Great Old Ones (Hastur and Cthulhu) and of the Outer God Nyarlathotep changed everything. It was now a 4-sided war between the humans and their Nazzadi allies (New Earth Government), the Migou, the Esoteric Order of Dagon (Cthulhu) and the Rapine Storm (Hastur). The Migou are very familiar with the Great Old Ones, and know that if Cthulhu returns they may end up being enslaved so now the stakes are vastly higher. As of 2085 AD, the Migou have expanded their territory to include northeastern China (Manchuria) and most of Central Asia. The Rapine Storm controls most of Southeast Asia, Tibet, western Xinjiang, southwestern China, Afghanistan, northern Iran, northern Pakistan, northeast India, Turkmenistan, the Himalayan Mountains, and Transcaucasia. The Esoteric Order of Dagon controls the oceans and most of the world's coastline. The rest is in the hands of the New Earth Government and it slowly but steadily keeps shrinking as more and more territory is lost to the Migou, the EOD, and the Rapine Storm.
Other
- In Feeders from Within, the Mi-go appeared in the setting of the 2013 novel published by Fantasy Flight Games. A Mi-go named Mr. Stone appeared where he came to Earth to reassemble the Shard of Panestes in order to travel to Tsathoggua's domain of N'Kai so that he could harvest the parasitic Feeders from Within. He was then discovered by the Pancho Villa Expedition in the Sierra Madres where he was badly injured. Afterwards, he reconstructed himself and barely alive squad leader Sergeant Johnathan Orton by using parts from the dead troopers.
