Moon-Beasts

Inhabitants of the Moon. They are "great greyish-white slippery things which could expand and contract at will, and whose principal shape - though it often changed - was that of a sort of toad without any eyes, but with a curious vibrating mass of short pink tentacles on the end of its blunt, vague snout" (The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, Lovecraft).
The Moon-Beasts live in windowless cities of stone. They sail black galleys between the Moon and the Dreamlands, trading rubies for both slaves and gold, at the port of Dylath-Leen. When there, they employ the Men of Leng, disguised in turbans, as their go-between and stay hidden below deck, less the merchants of Dylath-Leen learn the terrible secret of with whom they are dealing.
== Religion ==
The Moon-Beasts worship Mnomquah and Nyarlathotep.
== Nameless Rock ==
The Moon-beasts have a permanent settlement at the Nameless Rock, a jagged granite island near Inquanok, in the Cerenerian Sea. Their slaves are sometimes brought here for unknown reasons. The Nameless Rock is superstitiously avoided by passing ships, because of the strange howls sometimes heard there at night.
