" I didn't think of Attach-Nacha and Night Gaunt as Lovecraft inspired but I do see it "

The Night Gaunt was literally made by Lovecraft from nightmares he had as a child and are from The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, one of his stories.

Atlach-Nacha was created by Clark Ashton Smith but is generally part of the Cthulhu mythos as a great old one.

The Wendigo is also partially based on a great old one called Ithaqua and isn't just pure native amerian lore.

And while Mind Flayers are from DnD, they are obviously based on Cthulhu and his star spawn.
