 Greater Races - A scientific Approach, Vol 6 - Byakhee
The flight pattern of the Byakhee is controlled by a modulation of the anti-gravity field coupled with wing movements - the wings working as rudder, airbreaks and as a means to further move the baricenter (a bit like the tail of a jumping cat).
Are you kidding?) that the Byakhee has a second, specialized brain-like ganglium at the base of its spine-equivalent, placed therefore as a conjunction between the central nervous system and the anti-gravity generator.
This gives the byakhee a home base, but also enables them to swim through the gass clouds surrounding the giant, evolving into space dwellers - and all the while, attrition slows the moon in its path and it slides sloser to the rim of the gravitational well.

Weiss contemplated summoning a Byakhee to bring Meyer to them (at this point he actively hated Meyer), but Anderson was able to overpower Priestly when he started waving his gun at Weiss.

The byakhee dropped him off in Berlin (that's about as good as the byakhee could manage from Weiss's distinctly cloudy thoughts) where he was rapidly found, hospitalized and then re-committed to the same hospital as he had been in previously.

He tells the byakhee to go and kill all of the crewmembers and deposit their remains in the extinct volcano where he will eventually prepare the ceremony.

Anyways, your good friend the Byakhee will drop off Restiana at the final chamber, where she promptly transforms into a tentacled purple dragon thing (hey, now I understand the final boss in Earnest Evans!) and kills you dead because you're bleeding from a thousand bat-bites.

 Mothman - Monstropedia - the largest encyclopedia about monsters
Lovecraft, there is a race of aliens known as Byakhee.
While the creatures were invented long before the actual Mothman sightings, it is interesting to note that the byakhee have many similarities to the mothmen.
In the Cthulhu Mythos universe, it is possible that the byakhee were the basis for the mothmen sightings which also suggests that cults to Hastur the Unspeakable were present in Point Pleasant (Byakhee are known to serve Hastur and his cultists).

 Kurotokage writeup part 1
He did mention that his lord had expected him to continue to serve him for undercover missions after his training, but events intervened: in 1524 his training group encountered a byakhee, and the majority was killed.
[When we actually write it up, we'll probably want to avoid specifically identifying it as a Byakhee, describing it instead to let the reader figure it out.] Nakahara himself was severely wounded, and was nursed back to health and sanity by a passing monk (name and sect unknown; probably Tainin Hodo).
From that time, he devoted himself entirely to eradicating the byakhee (and related Mythos creatures) from Japan, gradually attracting a number of like souls to his side.
