Lovecraft - Dreamlands' Fauna I

Description

Upper left: Zoog.

Small and brown the Zoogs are usually portrayed in animalistic way but I've imagined them as tiny and mischievous, disproportional humanoids.

"Most of them live in burrows, but some inhabit the trunks of the great trees; and although they live mostly on fungi it is muttered that they have also a slight taste for meat, either physical or spiritual, for certainly many dreamers have entered that wood who have not come out."

"It was the zoogs, for one sees their weird eyes long before one can discern their small, slippery brown outlines."

Upper right: Man of Leng

The satyr-like denizens of northen plateau. Servilen and pathetic these beings find no problem being slaves and food to the Moon Beasts.

"They leaped as though they had hooves instead of feet, and seemed to wear a sort of wig or headpiece with small horns. Of other clothing they had none, but most of them were quite furry. Behind they had dwarfish tails, and when they glanced upward he saw the excessive width of their mouths. Then he knew what they were, and that they did not wear any wigs or headpieces after all."

Bottom: Leng Spider

The giant arachnids of Leng. As you can see the creature here is very similar to my depiction of a giant spider that Conan defeated. It's becaouse R.E.H. and H.P.L. often shared artistic ideas and I like to think that the unexplained giant spider of wizard's tower in Conan story was actually a specimen broughgt from Leng.:)

"There were scenes of old wars, wherein Leng's almost-humans fought with the bloated purple spiders of the neighbouring vales."

Both Moon-beasts and men of Leng are fond of nameless tortures performed on humans. Ghouls also get short shrift.
