	nightgaunts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Nightgaunts, in the Cthulhu Mythos, are servants of the Lord of the Abyss Nodens, and are creatures of the dreamlands.
		They are described as being fl, faceless beings with rubbery slick skins and a set of horns on the head.
		Winged and impossibly thin, the Nightgaunts capture the unwary traveller and tickle them into submission while taking them to the lower realms of dreamland.

		Calling Nightgaunts from the Dreamlands is said to require a component emblazoned with the mighty Elder Sign, and should be done at night when there is no Moon.
		Nightgaunts have a layer of toughness under the oily, whale-skin they are covered in, and this is the basis for their armor.
		A Nightgaunt’s chief mode of attack is to grapple someone, immobilize them with their Tickle attack, and fly them far away.

		She was naked and her body was covered with delicate traceries of what appear to be scars, but are actually an abrasion of the skin.
		Whatever was used (possibilities include a very sharp knife or some kind of whip) it didn't pierce the skin (the "scars" are actually the marks of the Nightgaunt's tails on her).

		On the way to Oriab and while he travels across the island, Carter hears dark whispers about the Nightgaunts, though they are never properly described.
		He is surprised to see that the features match those of sailors who trade at the port of Celephaïs, but before he can act on this knowledge, he is snatched away by the Nightgaunts who fly him to the underworld and deposit him in the Vale of Pnath to die.
		He further learns that the Nightgaunts do not serve Nyarlathotep as is commonly supposed, but Nodens.

		It tells of \tab two beings, Nightgaunt and Nightwater (which is actually the Formless \tab \tab Spawn that Helion keeps in the lower level of the mill).
		If the investigators have brought the book, the nightgaunts will tune it in automatically in about five or six hours (since they don't expect the book to be here), or in ten minutes when they are told to focus on it.
		Pietr will immediately summon some nightgaunts to take care of the investigators, and since the nightgaunts are already in the neighbourhood, this process will not take long time.

		The nightgaunt flew into the cave, and darted down dark, winding tunnels at outrageous speeds.

		Nightgaunts were originally described by Lovecraft as “Shocking and uncouth” — now you know.
		Nightgaunts might well be the inspiration for the traditional demon image, being about man sized but with bat-like wings, long fingers and enjoying the benefits of a prehensile tail.
		Nightgaunts are creatures formed from the stuff of nightmares and only exist in the waking world to terrorise people who go on blind dates.

		Then, when You're in CC, the Bioplasma kicks in, any kills inflicted by BP probably won't be striking back, after which You throw normal attacks at odds with enemy.
		Nightgaunt costs 10pts (12 with ImpAtt), and You'll have to pay 10 extra for a Hive node.

	NBOW: Carcosa
		This floating castle is home of the Byakhee, the Golems, and the Nightgaunts, as well as being the seat of the King's power.
		And worst of all, they never spoke or laughed, and never smiled because they had no faces at all to smile with, but only a suggestive blankness where a face ought to be.
		Rather they clutch and tickle, thus stunning their prey, and then carry them off, leaving them in some of the most dangerous locales in all of Carcosa.

		Five Nightgaunts appeared out of the night sky and tore the corner of the roof off the cabin and began to drag the partygoers screaming out into the night.
		He became obsessed by the Nightgaunts and prepares to build obscene monuments to them, but of course there is only one medium worthy for such a task, flesh.
		Once Eric bites the dust and the din dies down, the investigators will hear little scuttering noises further down the tunnel, and thus be led to a new horror.

		Another twist on the original HPL stories is the role of the Nightgaunts.
		Lumley has a human character who can control a grim of Nightgaunts to do his bidding, whether his goal be evil or good.
		Lovecraft fans who like pulp adventure and are not bothered by Lumley's shift of style, emphasis and detail from the original will have a great time sailing the skies of the Dreamlands and wandering the streets of Serranian.

	The View from the Foothills: Idlewild, by Nick Sagan
		He lives in a house shaped like a cathedral, complete with gargoyles; he is served by nightgaunts; his name, apparently, is "Halloween." And it's almost certain that someone is trying to kill him.
		Even if he built the story from familiar parts, though, the resulting edifice still has a number of striking features and surprises, and there are a number of absolutely images.
		I particularly enjoyed it when Halloween throws a luau and has nightgaunts in Hawaiian shirts passing out the drinks and canapés.

		Nothing can beat Gargoyles in the abilities/ptscost-department! You can convert them as cheaply (and more easily) as You could those Nightgaunts of Yours.
		:D For the same amount of work You'd use converting those Winged Nightgaunts, You could be converting Gargoyles which are a much more points-effective Winged Gaunt choice.
		only problem is that nightgaunts are cc and gargoyle's have a fleshborer

		Songs like “Arkham Hearse,” “Nightgaunts,” “Horrors in the Museum,” “The Dead Loved,” and “Gentlemen Prefer Blood” all refer to either Lovecraft’s life or his horror fiction.
		According to Lovecraft, Nightgaunts were bat-winged demons of the sort drawn by artist Gustave Dore; in his nightmares as a young lad, the Nightgaunts would clutch Lovecraft’s stomach with their claws and carry him off across the sky over dark or flaming chasms.
		Immediately after “Nightgaunts” is the more mid-tempo “Horrors in the Museum,” also the title of one of Lovecraft’s short stories.

		Oct 21 2005, 05:36 PM A nightgaunt could definitely carry a camerman, but they seem to have a tendency to be ticklers, so I'd think the cameraman would have a rather shaky view of the world @ best.
		Oct 21 2005, 06:31 PM Is it an african Nightgaunt or a european Nightgaunt?
		But what if two nightgaunts used a bit of rope and flew side by side, surely they could cary a cameraman that way.

	RPGnet: Review of The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath
		The quest takes him across the length and breadth of the Dreamlands, over land, sea, and even to the Dreamlands moon.
		Along the way, he makes a surreal menagerie of friends and enemies, including zoogs, cats, ghouls, gugs, ghasts, nightgaunts, dholes, and even Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos.
		The story is as much required reading for Call of Cthulhu GMs running a Dreamlands campaign as is the game's eponymous story for running Lovecraftian horror.

		There are a few songs that stand out that can just be listened to as songs, such as Nightgaunts, and Horrors in the Museum, but Cacophony is not song-oriented enough for me to give it 5 stars.
