THING WITH THE FEELERS

THING WITH THE FEELERS
"What seemed to be sheer fantasy was the superstitious lore--that Wizard Potter had 'called something down from the sky, and it lived with him or in him until he died';--that a late traveller, found in a dying state along the main road, had gasped out something about 'that thing with the feelers-slimy, rubbery thing with the suckers on its feelers' that came out of the wood and attacked him-and a good deal more of the same kind of lore."
H.P. Lovecraft & August Derleth, Witches' Hollow

  1. "Wizard Potter" is actually a prophetic reference to the character Harry Potter, telling of when he (Harry) in his old age as a wizard, ends up practicing blasphemous magic and learning ancient eldritch knowledge which produced this monstrosity as his familiar. Something even Hagarid would pale at the sight of.
