shhh... you speak too openly of closed matters. THiS mUSt nOt be NamEd!
actually, if i recall, the mi-go were described as looking like winged horeshoe crabs. but yeah, the coralax and particularly their goddess merluna seemed very lovecraftian.
actually one people tend to not think about is "a shadow out of time" where te time and space traversing entities that inhabit the yithian "rugose cones" of prehistoric earth seemed a lot like kheldians. they are formless space beings that take over the bodies of host entities (like the creatures that were the novas and dwarves) kelds are a bit better about asking first. also, the sleeper of dark astoria reminded me of "the shunned house"
