Changes: Ghast

Revision as of 22:00, 25 July 2020

“	...the ghasts, those repulsive beings which die in the light, and which live in the vaults of Zin and leap on long hind legs like kangaroos... After a moment something about the size of a small horse hopped out into the grey twilight, and Carter turned sick at the aspect of that scabrous and unwholesome beast, whose face is so curiously human despite the absence of a nose, a forehead, and other important particulars.	„
	~ HPL , Dream-Quest Of Unknown Kadath

Ghasts are humanoid creatures who dwell in the vaults of Zin where they are often hunted by the Gugs. Their language appears to consist of "coughing gutturals".

They also appear to travel in packs, as Randolph Carter meets a group of fifteen. Together they seemingly manage take down a gug.
