Although he never spoke as glowingly about any waking world species he created as he did about the Elder Things, he did indicate some appreciation for the civilization, technology and culture of The Great Race of Yith. And in the dreamlands ghouls and nightgaunts aid the protagonist. So sometimes monsters can be friends.

It's genuenly fascinating how Lovecraft, known xenophobe in it's truest sense, created this race of grotesque utterly inhuman alien creatures and the goes on at length describing with genuine respect and admiration how advanced and complex and admirable their culture and civilization was.

like, we are talking about these guys

and lovecraft is like "ah yes, their goberment was complex a probably socialistic...there was extensive commerece, the culture was mainly urban, in furnishing their homes they kept everything at the center of huge rooms leaving wall spaces for decorative treatments, lighting was probably accomplished by a device electro-chemical in nature"

is so strange how comfortable he is humanizing these creatures, treating them like any other culture worth of consideration. i really didnt expect this coming from this dude

My favorite Lovecraftian creature, drawn mostly from how I remember it when I first read At the Mountains of Madness years ago, with influence from others' illustrations from over the years.

tooting almonds made Cthulhu experience high tide, then after a million years he finally got out of the sand and was immediately 1HKOed with a boat
