History
Origin[]
The Nightgaunts were a creation of the Elder God Chthon,[3][4] among many other elder races, crafted by twisting together tissues of man, beast, and demon.[3]
The horned Nightgaunts were described in the Book of Skelos.[1]
Hyborian Age[]
Queen Vammatar's Witchmen of Hyperborea rode by pair on horned Nightgaunts, and such a crew attacked Conan, Kulan Gath and Hobb while they were flying over Cimmeria, heading towards the Mount of Crom to slay Vammatar.[1]Notes
- The Night-gaunts are a fictional race created by H.P. Lovecraft in "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" (presumably written in 1926-27, published posthumously in 1943).
- They were stated to be possibly a creation of Chthon in the Wolf Book of Marvel Tarot #1 (August, 2007), then confirmed as such in Chthon's profile in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z #2 (May, 2008).
