Talk:Night Gaunt/@comment-26517142-20190408041942/@comment-27045866-20190408141609

In the making of he talks about Lovecraft's ideas of the Night Gaunt as them being faceless rubber skinned monsters that he had had dreams of since childhood that used tickling as their main form of attack and in his stories were often servitors for the Elder Gods. He kind of goes through the various concepts and how he came up with the entry. Faceless became emotionless to all but their husband, which they devotedly serve like Night Gaunt did to the gods in the mythos. The latex mucus became both their rubber skin and the fact that it is painted on their future husband as if they are tickling them. Also since they were just faceless gargoyles in his stories their husbands tentacle form was based on the tickling concept with their husband now tickling and groping them as he wants. Although he does say at one point he had their husband become some kind of latex slime symbiote that covers them but that tentacles conveys the tickling concept better.
