Lovecraft - Ghasts

Published:

Description

The Ghasts. As you might remember I really dislike them portrayed as humanoids. The story mentions nothing humanoid about them. In this take on the Ghast, I've made it even more dinosaur-like (and I am really satisfied with this work :)) I've based this saurian depiction on the fact that attacking ghas were never mentioned to use their arms in a fight. They only bite and kick with their "hard pointed hooves". Also, theVaoults of Zin isn't an environment that provides them with a variable diet, so they often canibalize. As you can see here.

"...the ghasts, those repulsive beings which die in the light, and which live in the vaults of Zin and leap on long hind legs like kangaroos.
(...) After a moment something about the size of a small horse hopped out into the grey twilight, and Carter turned sick at the aspect of that scabrous and unwholesome beast, whose face is so curiously human despite the absence of a nose, a forehead, and other important particulars."
