In [[The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]], the dream-world version of Earth's moon is populated by a race of strange beings, known only as "'''moon-beasts'''." They are pale, squat, toadlike creatures, having no eyes but instead a mass of pink tentacles at the end of their snout. They are described as sailing galleys between the [[Moon]] and the [[Dreamlands]] to trade rubies in exchange for slaves and gold in the port of Dylath-Leen, employing [[Men of Leng]] disguised in turbans, as to not reveal their true nature.
