The Nightgaunt is a type of creatures left behind in secret domains by the Old Ones to protect it and them while they are in states of dormancy.
History[]
As the Ghostbusters and Katarina Novachenka descended into a mountain in Dnepropetrovsk, they speculated what guardians they would find since they could range from anything - Shuggoth, Shamblers, or Ghasts.[2][3][4][5] Instead, they encountered several Nightgaunts. The Ghostbusters easily confined and trapped the Nightgaunts. However, it became apparent the Traps weren't designed to hold these types of entities indefinitely.[6] The trap soon started to disintegrate. Ray Stantz threw it to a safe distance where it exploded.
Trivia[]
- In H.P. Lovecraft's works, the Nightgaunt only served the Elder God Nodens and the Old One Yibb-Tstll. They were said to guard Ngranek, a towering extinct volcano that contained passage ways to and from the Underworld and tunnels that stretched to the lower reaches of Dreamland.
