Yakith Lizards were a species created by H. P. Lovecraft and Hazel Heald for their short story "Out of the Aeons". Native to the now-lost continent of Mu, the lizards went extinct when Mu sank beneath the waves.
| “ | So T'yog wrote his protective formula on a scroll of pthagon membrane (according to von Junzt, the inner skin of the extinct yakith-lizard) and enclosed it in a carven cylinder of lagh metal—the metal brought by the Elder Ones from Yuggoth, and found in no mine of earth. This charm, carried in his robe, would make him proof against the menace of Ghatanothoa—it would even restore the Dark God’s petrified victims if that monstrous entity should ever emerge and begin its devastation. | „ | |
