Alskali

The Alskali are a species of inhuman creatures created by Theatre of the Mind for their Pursuit to Kadath expansion for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.
==Description==
Enormous humanoids with hypnotic powers, the Alskali are about ten feet tall with squat, heavily-muscled bodies. They are hairless, with dead-grey skin and huge hands and feet. Each has a single black glossy eye in the centre of their otherwise human faces. This single eye appears to be multiple eyes due to the magical effects possessed by its owner. 
In the modern day, the surviving Alskali worship Nyarlathotep, although in the past they were followers of many of the Outer Gods and Great Old Ones. A secret Turkish sect known as Erkek KardeÕ Göz - which translates to The Brothers of the Eye - worship these one-eyed giants as gods, and work to keep their existence hidden from the rest of mankind.
== History ==
The Alskali are a race of intelligent beings who evolved entirely apart from the human race. These giants have entered into human folklore as the Cyclops, amongst other traditional giants. In prehistory they built huge dwellings out of the sides of mountains, and from these citadels communicated and became affiliated with the entirely alien Outer Gods. Eventually, the Alskali were driven out of their great cities and into new dwellings deep in the earth. This migration had the effect of producing evolutionary change in the giants, making them smaller in size (although still huge in comparison to humans).
