Nigh Gaunts are supposed to be winged entities, possibly messengers, that tickle their victims intosubmission and carry them around the dark dreamworld, sometimes to the lower depths. Lovecraft based it off of a creature he had nightmares of when he was a child. Not exactly cuddly, per se, but far more benevolent than all of his other creatures. Most depict them as a kind of skinny gargoyle.
