Indrid Cold

Indrid Cold, also known as The Smiling Man or The Grinning Man, is a pop culture figure who has been incorporated into the expanded Cthulhu Mythos by American author Josh Reynolds.
==Description==
A tall, thin man with abnormally long limbs and an over-wide smile which never leaves his face, Indrid Cold has pale skin through which can occasionally be seen a wriggling movement or an unnatural twitch. He is also a telepath who appears to be immune to conventional weapons. Indrid Cold's real nature has not been confirmed, but it is heavily implied that he is an extraterrestrial creature from the Cthulhu Mythos in the disguise of a human.
==Behind the Mythos==
Indrid Cold is infamous in conspiracy theory circles for being connected to sightings of unidentified flying objects and the Mothman of Point Pleasant, with his appearance being reported since as early as 1966. He is also commonly associated with the so-called Men in Black, a government agency purported to be heavily involved with covering up UFO phenomena Indrid Cold at the Cryptid Wiki. It is in this last guise that Reynolds most closely portrays the Cthulhu Mythos iteration of Cold: an alien entity working with the United States government.
