Buopoth

Buopoths are a species of extra-dimensional creature created by the late American author H. P. Lovecraft for his novella The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.
==Description==
Buopoths are large herbivorous animals with a passing resemblance to terrestrial tapirs. Native to the otherworldly dimension known as the Dreamlands, their preferred habitat is tropical forest, and they are generally peaceful creatures who much prefer to run and hide than confront any potential aggressorS. Petersen's Field Guide to Lovecraftian Horrors, pp 84-85.
The courtship and mating rituals of the Buopoths are vigorous and noisy, yet pleasing to the ear: for this reason, they are found to be mimicked in the song and dance of many Dreamlands cultures which are aware of the creatures.
