"About fifty million years ago, the Flying Polyps broke free from their bonds beneath Earth’s crust and fell upon the Great Ones in a war of horrific revenge. Such was the horror of this attack that it drove the Great Ones en masse forward in time to occupy the bodies of the great beetle race which ruled the Earth after man’s dominion fell. The cone beings, devoid of the intelligence of the Yithians, quickly fell the Polyps."
