Feaster from Afar

The Feaster from Afar is an avatar of Hastur the Unspeakable created by Joseph Payne Brennan for his short story "The Feaster from Afar".
==Description==
This avatar of Hastur is a fearsome predator that moves through interstellar space. At some point, a branch of the Whateley family seems to have summoned it down to Earth, where it has remained, inhabiting the hills outside Granbury, New England, turning them into a barren waste completely devoid of animal life.
The Feaster from Afar glides over the terrain, unaffected by gravity, and might be able to pass through solid objects as well. It appears as a black, shriveled creature, with knife-like claws at the tips of its tentacles, which are used to perforate the skull of its victims and suck out their brains. Victims are invariably found dead with their heads riddled with holes.
Like many other entities of the Cthulhu Mythos, the Feaster from Afar can manifest itself in dreams. Its approach is accompanied by a sharp drop in temperature. (: "The Feaster from Afar")
