Lovecraft is a terrible mire of confusing copyright where some stuff is in the Public Domain and some stuff isn’t, so for now I’m just leaving that whole quagmire alone. But I like Night-Gaunts.

Is that Night Gaunt the Senior Librarian at the LA’s library?
good choice on the copyright stuff.
Yes, night-gaunts are pretty cool. They can fly long distances, with passengers. If you’re friends with them, you can save a ton on travel. In that respect, they’re almost as good as the Cats of Ulthar, who can fly you to the moon (in the Dreamlands)…
Cats of Ulthar: ^This is one small step for a cat, one giant trip for you!^ ^Tran-kitty-ly Base here – the hitcher has landed!^ ^Ear scritchies, please!^ ^ω^
Of course, I would imagine that no Lovecraftian creature would be suitable for a medallion…
Jocasta: Just keep walking and ignore him.
Cthulhu: Do not ignore me! I want to visit a human public house! I want to purchase human beer with human money using my human thumbs! Stop being so mean! You won’t like my nasty cosmic abomination side! X-E
And of course, regardless of whether or not there are any Lovecraftian creatures in the Skin Deep universe…
Alec Hyde: Nyarlathotep – definitely a bugbear. King in Yellow? Bugbear. Arthur Jermyn and his male ancestors? Unturned bugbears. Herbert West? Bugbear. H. P. Lovecraft…? Dunno… (regretful) …no. No, he don’t really have the look, does he? 8-{

The Night GAunt is really cool and it makes ke wonder, what’s your take on Nightmares?
Aww, it’s cute!
are there djinns in skin deep?
are there any djinns in skin deep world?
Is there plantoids in skin deep? (other than dryads)
Are there any fearsome critters of the lumberwood in the Skindeepverse? Squonks, snallygasters, hidebehinds, anything like that?
Snallygasters were the subject of the second RQ for this current series of RQs

Are there creatures with medallions that don’t have a mid form, besides the satyr?
Satyrs have midforms… it’s just kinda….redundant. Little less hairy, no horns, 5 fingers, legs with plantigrade feet
Just kind of pointless in the long run dont you think?
Have you watched the Disney show Gargoyles?
If so, who were your favorite characters?

Let’s hope that none of the bugbears heard you say that … ;-)
xD I was so happy to see another person asked after leopard geckos, and then I got to see a nightgaunt only a few days later.
I feel elated. I love these guys.
Love born from Lovecraft but also from Carl Sagan’s Idlewild.
