Mythos

Nightgaunts first appeared in the story The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath (H.P. Lovecraft, 1927).

Nightgaunts are a species found in both the Dreamlands and the waking world. Anatomically, they are much like humans, save for their whale-like skin, huge bat-wings, horns, and a blankness where their faces should be. Most are black in color, though one rare white one was reported.

Nightgaunts are usually found in desolate places, as far from humanity as possible. If a traveler intrudes upon their territory, the nightgaunts ambush and carry them through the air, tickling their victim with their large barbed tails if they struggle. Those who continue to fight back are dropped from a great height; those who do not are taken to strange and dangerous places, and then abandoned there (in the Dreamlands, the Vale of Pnath is a particular favorite.) Some say that even if the nightgaunts are defeated, they will return to the victim later until their mission of terror is satisfied.

Nightgaunts are said to follow Nodens, Lord of the Great Abyss, but are allied to some degree with the ghouls, Yibb-Tstll, Yegg-ha, and the Lords of Luz, a realm beneath the mountains separating Inganok from Leng.
