Description

Often known simply as "Flying Polyps" these guys were arch-enemies of Yithians. I've drawn ne before but wasn't satisfied sith it's design. (I might re-make the old drawing into an Outer God, though...)

Anyway, the creatures are gigantic, they levitate and have some sort of legsm leaving 5-pointed fotmarks

"... a horrible elder race of half-polypous, utterly alien entities which had come through space from immeasurably distant universes and had dominated the earth and three other solar planets about 600 million years ago. (...)They were only partly material and had the power of aerial motion, despite the absence of wings (...)There were veiled suggestions of a monstrous plasticity, and of temporary lapses of visibility, while other fragmentary whispers referred to their control and military use of great winds. Singular whistling noises, and colossal footprints made up of five circular toe marks, seemed also to be associated with them."

You did your best ,considering that the Great Race did NOT dare describe them or discuss them, and that Peaslee could only get info from his fellow abductees. Their windowless towers were mostly pulled down but some were made use of by the Great Race. Also the Great race could not do mind-swaps with them, their minds too alien .
