Night-Gaunt

Night-Gaunts are an alien race from the Cthulhu Mythos by H.P. Lovecraft. Native to the Dreamlands, they are the closest thing Lovecraft ever got to depicting a standard devil for his Mythos. For the most part, nightgaunts look like a winged generic devil, with goat-like legs, goat-like horns, and a long tail with a forked tip. The big difference is that they have no facial features whatsoever, and their onyx-black skin is an unnaturally sleek, shiny mass, similar to the hide of a dolphin.

Lovecraft has said that they were inspired by recurring nightmares he had as a child, wherein the creatures would carry him dizzily through the air, tickle him, and stab him with tridents.
