Dust-Man

The Dust-Men are a fictional species of beings created by Robert Horowitz for Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu role-playing game. They made their first appearance in the Malleus Monstrorum bestiary supplement in 2006. 
==Description==
Native to the Dreamlands, Dust-Men appear as humanoid figures in the Dreamlands, and spend their time moving piles of dust or sand around in the waking world. The inhalation of a dust-man in the waking world causes nightmares in those unfortunate enough to have done so. They are rumoured to have been created by Abdul Alhazred. 
==Behind the Mythos==
The Dust-Men were created as a result of a competition held by Chaosium, where the top three entries would feature in their new monster manual Malleus Monstrorum. The Dust-Men came third, losing the top spots to the Pallid Dancers and Father-of-All-Sharks Malleus Monstrorum Foreword by Scott David Aniolowski, pp.7 (2006).
