Description

A monstrous, corpse feeding Djinn or similar entity from Cthulhu Mythos. I gave it more formed hooves than ever before going with the mythical depictions.

"These figures were seldom completely human, but often approached humanity in varying degree. Most of the bodies, while roughly bipedal, had a forward slumping, and a vaguely canine cast. The texture of the majority was a kind of unpleasant rubberiness."


H.P. Lovecraft, Pickman's Model

"Somewhere in these primitive forests were the ruins of an ancient, accursed city, men whispered, and among its tombs slunk gray, anthropomorphic shadows--Conan shuddered strongly. He lay staring at the malformed head that rose dimly above him, and cautiously he extended a hand toward the sword at his hip. With a horrible cry that the man involuntarily echoed, the monster was at his throat. Conan threw up his right arm, and the doglike jaws closed on it, driving the mail links into the hard flesh. The misshapen yet manlike hands clutched for his throat, but he evaded them with a heave and roll of his whole body, at the same time drawing his dagger with his left hand."

Robert E. Howard, The Hour of the Dragon

I once dreamed of a very similar creature (though the face was more ape-like). I was walking through a small group of trees into an open field of grass. When I reached the field, the bastard had its back turned on me, but he turned around and stared directly at my eyes. His eyes were red and without pupils and his mouth was something like Baraka's. He then began to chase me, but for a reason I was frozen and unable to run. I then woke up.
