Yegg-Ha

Yegg-ha, The Master of the Nightgaunts, is a faceless bat-winged giant that was "killed" by Roman soldiers near Hadrian's Wall in Britain, c.128 A.D. Its connection as master of the Night-gaunts is given in the Necronomicon, although Yibb-Tstll is mentioned elsewhere as the "Lord of Gaunts." Presumably Yegg-ha is a servant of Nodens and its legend appears in the book The Frontier Garrison. While its physical body might be dead it endures in the Dreamlands.
The Book of Eibon describes Yegg-ha as a Lesser Old One, "immense and faceless", who "leads the night-gaunts in the service of the Crawling Chaos and his awful son, Yibb-Tstll". (: "The Descent into the Abyss")
Some sources identify Yegg-Ha as a Great Old One, albeit a "very minor" one. (: Malleus Monstrorum)
==Behind the Mythos==
Yegg-ha was created by Brian Lumley in his The Caller of the Black anthology, published at the end of August Derleth's era by Arkham House, and expanded upon by Lin Carter, who associates it with "the Crawling Chaos", i.e. Nyarlathotep. This differs from H. P. Lovecraft's portrayal of the night-gaunts as Nyarlathotep's enemies, not servants (: The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath).
