barrels sitting on 5 tentacle-like legs, shaped like a star. at least one pair of protractable wings, 4 tentacle-like arms going around the middle of the barrels with even smaller almost wire-like tentacles coming from there. Star shaped head with 5 red eyes coming from each tip. mouthparts coming from the very top, like straws. at least something like that. it'll be interesting to see what del Toro does with them if he ever makes Madness a reality.
Lovecraft would laugh at this depiction of Nyarlathotep... the reality would be instant insanity from the sheer terror and lack of senses to comprehend apon laying eyes on something from the void.
It is worth noting, of course, that many, many people back then harbored the same feelings. There would be many more racist forums if people in those days had access to the internet.
Like a lot of Lovecraft deities, he is only implied in a lot of the works. The only story I know of that he is partly described in is "the dream-quest of unknown kadath".
I dunno, that could be nyarlathotep from the watcher in the dark-- he has 999 forms and one is winged and has burning, three-lobed eye. I like it. cut the guy some slack.
"They represented some ridged barrel-shaped object with thin horizontal arms radiating spoke-like from a central ring and with vertical knobs or bulbs projecting from the head and base of the barrel. Each of these knobs was the hub of a system of five long, flat, triangularly tapering arms arranged around it like the arms of a starfish."
@hallfrost00 there is no correct answer to that. he can be a blond albino pimp. he can be and anorexic pharaoh he can even be fucking slender man.

@Wvskrj: I'm currently re-reading "At The Mountains of Madness"; that's a pretty damn good description, if you're going from memory.

Interesting...remember that Lovecraft wrote that Nyarlathotep had no exact form.

No, if Lovercraft have had access to the Internet he would have watched porn all day long and forget about nightmares from beyond.

You should all check out Portal - Omnipotent Crawling Chaos, the perfect horror track dedicated to Nyarlathotep. Whatever this is, its queer.

Azathoth is the drunk idiot god of choas and Nyarlathotep is the crawling choas but in the majority of lovecrafts work he is a very tall hooded man.

It is Nyarly; it's an exact replica of the Nyarly plush toy that's made by the same company that makes most of the plush Cthulhu toys.
