YEB

 YEB

"The ceremonies of Nug and Yeb sickened him especially—so much, indeed, that he refrained from describing them in his manuscript."

H.P. Lovecraft & Zealia Bishop, The Mound

"I talked in Yemen with an old man who had come back alive from the Crimson Desert—he had seen Irem, the City of Pillars, and had worshipped at the underground shrines of Nug and Yeb—Iä! Shub-Niggurath!"
H.P. Lovecraft & Adolphe de Castro, The Last Test

In the end he felt sure that the gods friendly to man could be arrayed against the hostile gods, and believed that Shub-Niggurath, Nug, and Yeb, as well as Yig the Serpent-god, were ready to take sides with man against the tyranny and presumption of Ghatanothoa.
H.P. Lovecraft & Hazel Heald, Out Of the Aeons


Another redrawing...and we're going even more obscure. This is one of the pair of Great Old Ones known as the "twin blasphemies"....Nug & Yeb!

I adjusted the pose of this one and fixed some of the anatomy, linework and color.

Old version vs new version

These two are never described by Lovecraft himself and, if I'm not mistaken, the above passages are the only times he ever even mentions them.
