Mythos[]
Gnoph-Keh first appeared in the story The Horror in the Museum (H.P. Lovecraft and Hazel Heald, 1932).
The Gnoph-Keh are horned, furred monsters from Greenland that walk on two, four, or sometimes six legs. The Voormis pushed the gnoph-keh into the polar wastes when the beast-men broke free of the Valusian serpent-men and established their own kingdom. These creatures are intelligent and adept at stalking prey across tundra and ice, calling up storms to immobilize their victims.
Sometimes Gnoph-Keh is also said to be an avatar of Rhan-Tegoth. Others maintain that these creatures are worshipers of Ithaqua.[1]
