Winged One (disambiguation)

Winged Ones is a general name for winged creatures.
It may refer to a number of different elements of the Mythos.
*The "Black Winged Ones" are bat-winged creatures summoned to the rites of the Cthulhu Cult (: "The Call of Cthulhu"). These may be the "black-snouted winged creatures" that evolved on Earth at some point in the Cenozoic (: The Shadow Out of Time). The Byakhee are also described as "black-winged bat-like creatures", but are unlikely to be the same species, as the Byakhee are enemies of Cthulhu (: "The House on Curwen Street"). They might also be the black-winged creatures that John Whateley is in league with (: Fungi from Yuggoth).
*The star-headed Elder Things are sometimes called Winged Ones prior to their losing the power of flight
*Cult doctrine has it that "the Winged Ones taught the elder lore to men" in Lomar. (: "Through the Gates of the Silver Key")
*Hastur and his servants, notably the Mi-Go, have been called by this term. (: The Whisperer in Darkness)
*Ragnalla, Nest Mistress of the Winged Ones. (: "Ragnalla" [James Ambuehl])
*An Elder Race of the Thurian Age. (: Kull of Atlantis [Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of expansion])
==Trivia==
*The term was used by H. P. Lovecraft and taken up by Fred Pelton and others.
