First Ones

An alien race. They called themselves the First Ones because they thought they were, and when they discovered even older races, they still kept their old name. The First Ones are described as gray upright slugs with corrugated skin and tentacles for arms.
First Ones discovered many marvels. Their savants were "masters ofscience and sorcery, who plumbed the voids betwixt stars and times and the misted mysteries of parallel planes of existence". They established their great Keeps in the Great Bleak Range - and from the keeps they went out in disguises to study the ways of man.
One of the First Ones, Klarek-Yam, secretly sought out Cthulhu and other Great Old Ones in the Dreamlands. Eventually he lost his mind and became a minion of Cthulhu, set out to perform certain tasks for the great demon god.
