-The '''Nightgaunts''' are creatures in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] of [[H. P. Lovecraft]]. Their first appearance was in [[The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]] wherein they inhabit the Dreamlands. Lovecraft described them as having smooth whale-like skin, long slender humanoid bodies, curving horns, leather bat-like wings, and a blank expanse of flesh where one would expect a face to be. They are the servants of the Elder God [[Nodens]].
-==Summary==
-Lovecraft provides a description of the Nightgaunts in ''The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath'':
-{{quote|text=Shocking and uncouth black beings with smooth, oily, whale-like surfaces, unpleasant horns that curved inward toward each other, bat-wings whose beating made no sound, ugly prehensile paws, and barbed tails that lashed needlessly and disquietingly. And worst of all, they never spoke or laughed, and never smiled because they had no faces at all to smile with, but only a suggestive blankness where a face ought to be. All they ever did was clutch and fly and tickle; that was the way of night-gaunts.}}
