Bast

Bast—or Bastet—is the Egyptian Cat Goddess, typically appearing as a woman with a cat's head, though she can appear as a regular person or a regular cat (large or small) as well.

Spawn of Yig

The Spawn of Yig are the offspring of Yig and a human, and take on the characteristics of both parents. Skin is scaly and coloured similarly to that of a snake, while limbs are shrunken and dangle uselessly from the body. The face is partially human, but the eyes are cold and lidless.

Courtiers of the King in Yellow

Courtiers of the King in Yellow (previously called Pallid Dancers) are dressed in tattered yellow rags like the King in Yellow and wear pale masks, dancing with the grace and rhythm of both a ballerina and a whirling dervish.

Spawn of Ithaqua

The Spawn of Ithaqua (previously Spawn of the Winds) are half-breed offspring of Ithaqua and a human. They usually appear human, but can transform into creatures more akin to their father.

Desh

The Desh are creatures from an alternate dimension that can be summoned to earth through the brain of a sentient being. They come in many different shapes and sizes, two samples of which are pictured below, named Lesser and Greater Desh. Lesser desh appear as large silvery tadpoles with limp, toothless mouths, and with a row of dark, bead-like eyes across their narrow heads. Their long limbs are tough and springy. Greater desh have slim, fish-like bodies with four long limbs knotted with cords of stringy muscle. Wide mouths bristle with curved, six-inch teeth. The top of the sleek head is crowned with a bundle of 2 to 8 lidless, plate-shaped eyes arranged in a crescent.

Cold Ones

Cold Ones—also known as Ylidheem—are semi-corporeal entities that appear as ghostly, wailing, humanoid silhouettes of whirling snow and vapours. They are only encountered in areas of bitter cold, and can appear or disappear into snowy skies, or drifts of snow and ice, like ghosts. Despite this, Cold Ones are only partially immaterial, so cannot pass through solid matter, though they can seep through the smallest of openings.

Adherents of the Unspeakable Oath

Adherents of the Unspeakable Oath (previously called Unspeakable Possessors) are creatures created by Hastur when it collects on a binding oath known as the Unspeakable Promise. Adherents have grey-green, scaly skin, with a bloated parody of a body. Their limbs also become boneless and fluid, like an octopus'.
