Smith - Voormi — Description

Voormis are a race of primitive, cavemen said to be hybrids of humans and soe sort of Great Old Ones. They look pretty much like ape-men but are described with three toed feet ( also gave them three-fingered, reptilian hands for consistency )

"Also, much was said regarding the genesis of the Voormis, who were popularly believed to be the offspring of women and certain atrocious creatures that had come forth in primal days from a tenebrous cavern-world in the bowels of Voormithadreth. Somewhere beneath that four-coned mountain, the sluggish and baleful god Tsathoggua, who had come down from Saturn in years immediately foIlowing the Earth's creation, was fabled to reside; and during the rite of worship at his black altars, the devotees were always careful to orient themselves toward Voormithadreth."

"They stood only half erect, and their shaggy heads were about his thighs and hips, snarling and snapping like dogs; and they clawed him with hook-shaped nails that caught and held in the links of his armor."</i>

Clark Ashton Smith, The Seven Geases
