Flying Polyp

==Summary==
Flying Polyps are a race of extraterrestrial creatures. The creature first appeared in H. P. Lovecraft's "The Shadow Out of Time." The precise nature of the flying polyps is unclear; the records kept by the Great Race of Yith are notably evasive, making fearful references but shying away from actual description. They are capable of flight, although they lack wings or other appendages to facilitate this, and they were capable of controlling air currents for offensive and manipulation purposes. Although airborne, they seem to make some contact with the ground during movement, as they leave behind five-toed radial footprints wherever they go.

Powers and Abilities:
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics

**Invisibility (Flying Polyps are described as experiencing "temporary lapses in visibility", and even when fleeing from "tides of abomination", Nathaniel only heard the whistling sound of their presence, implying they can turn invisible)
**Limited Intangibility (Described as "only partly material" which made harming them through conventional physical means difficult, though it is still stated that their bodies were unable to penetrate all material barriers)
***Non-Physical Interaction (Can presumably interact with each other)
*Flight
*Wind Manipulation, 
Resistance to:
*Mind Control & Possession (Their minds were "of such texture" that the Great Race of Yith was unable to swap or control their minds)

Notable Attacks and Techniques:
