SMALL CRAWLER (NYARLATHOTEP)

 SMALL CRAWLER (NYARLATHOTEP)
"Against the east wall (the facing wall as you descend the stairs) is a four foot-high statue of crudely carved black stone, a derofmed dwarf-like figure with four eyes. Three large tentacle-like appendages take the place of feet. The statue represents another of the thousand aspects of Nyarlathotep, a form known in India as the Small Crawler."

"And then shall the gate be opened, as the sun is blotted out. Thus the Small Crawler will awaken those who dwell beyond and bring them. The sea shall swallow them and spit them up and the leopard shall eat of the flesh of Rudraprayag in the Spring."
Larry DiTillio & Lynn Willis, Masks Of Nyarlathotep

"This form of Nyarlathotep consists of a dwarfed human figure with four arms and three tentacles as legs. It is mentioned in the Cthaat Aquadingen and has a 
small following in India."

THE BLOATED WOMAN (NYARLATHOTEP)

 THE BLOATED WOMAN (NYARLATHOTEP)
"This particularly disgusting form of Nyarlathotep is known on Earth only among the Order of the Bloated Woman, which is centered in Shanghai."

"She appears as a 600-pound, seven-foot-tall female horror with tentacles in place of arms, and more tentacles sprouting from rolls of sickly yellow-gray flesh. Below her eyes another tentacle waves, and below and beside that are lumpy chins, each sporting a mouth, each mouth a perfect rosy bow made hideous by clusters of fangs."

"She crudely resembles a human woman. Multiple smaller tentacles sprout from the rest of her body. Six sickles hand in the belt of her tunic. Also in her belt is the magic black fan which, when held just under her eyes, permits her to take on the appearance of beautiful Chinese maiden."
Larry DiTillio & Lynn Willis, Masks Of Nyarlathotep
