Lovecraft - Mi Go III — Description
Mix of two versions; It has the more pointy head of the never design and the body of the old one.
The wings are rather small compared to their body size as these guys were not very good at flying (on Earth at least). The last pair of legs is much tougher than the rest allowing them to get bipedal as the story mentioned, I've noticed it's quite a rarely featured element. Finally, the other limbs are rather thin and have very small pincers. Surgical tools, rather than weapons. The creatures were said to be masters of surgery but not very good fighters - one gets killed by a dog.

"They were pinkish things about five feet long; with crustaceous bodies bearing vast pairs of dorsal fins or membraneous wings and several sets of articulated limbs, and with a sort of convoluted ellipsoid, covered with multitudes of very short antennae, where a head would ordinarily be.... As it was, nearly all the rumours had several points in common; averring that the creatures were a sort of huge, light-red crab with many pairs of legs and with two great bat-like wings in the middle of their back..."
