Oorn (Mad Moon of Dreams)

Oorn is a creature created by British author Brian Lumley for his 1987 Cthulhu Mythos novel Mad Moon of Dreams.
==Description==
Oorn is the mate of the Great Old One Mnomquah. It is described as a huge tentacled mollusc-like being with appendages which are capable of spraying digestive acids. It is worshipped by both the Men of Leng and the Moon-beasts.
== Behind the Mythos ==
A creature also called Oorn was created by H. P. Lovecraft and R. H. Barlow for their story "The Hoard of the Wizard-Beast". However, as this story was written in 1933 but unpublished until 1994, seven years after the publication of Mad Moon of Dreams, it seems highly unlikely that Lumley would have been aware of its existence when writing about his own creation.
