This subject contains information from the Expanded Cthulhu Mythos, and not based on H.P. Lovecraft's works directly. Y'nathogguans are the Servitors of Quyagen who dwell in Quy. Legend says that they are humanoid reptiles with heads like tigers, save that they have tentacles instead of whiskers. They hunt men down and when these tentacles touch bare flesh they drain the youth and energy from them. This may have given rise to the Rakshasa of Indian folklore. They are said to have been created to battle the minions of the Great Race and those jealous gods of Glyh-Vo (Glyu-uho), and to have been given charge of man by Quyagen.
