NOTH-YIDIK
“Fool! Spawn of Noth-Yidik and effluvium of K’thun! Son of the dogs that howl in the maelstrom of Azathoth! You would have been sacred and immortal, and now you are betraying It and Its priest!"
H.P. Lovecraft & Hazel Heald, The Horror In the Museum
"Aye, I speak of the very Hounds Of Tindalos themselves, those Hunters From Beyond that be the Spawn of Noth-Yidik and the effluvium of K'thun, and that howl forever in the maelstrom that is dread and fearsome Azathoth; aye, They be none other than the very minions and servitors of the Daemon-Sultan, under Their ghastly sire and dam, Noth-Yidik and terrible K'thun."
Lin Carter, The Madness Out Of TimeAnother one that's only ever been mentioned, not described. I did enjoy designing these because I really got to go wild.
The redrawing for this one fixed a few things; for one the unnecessary eyes running up and down the body. Secondly, the twisting body wasn't really accurate, but it's been fixed here.
What is interesting is that, while I can find no illustrations of Noth-Yidik before mine, the few I've seen after all keep the dual head worm idea! So, it's become sort of canon?
