The Gnophkehs are a humanoid race of cannibals covered in coarse, matted hair with large protruding ears and proboscidean noses. They originally lived in Hyperborea and worshiped the Great Old One Rhan-Tegoth. But Rhan-Tegoth eventually forgot them when he entered a stone-like hibernation state. They were invaded and driven to the land of Lomar by the Tsathoggua-worshipping Voormis. __TOC__

  • The Gnophkehs are a humanoid race of cannibals covered in coarse, matted hair with large protruding ears and proboscidean noses.

  • A pair of gnophkeh from Clark Ashton Smith's Hyperborean Cycle. Not to be confused with the non-humanoid and similarly named Gnoph-keh, these brutish humanoids are enemies of both the voormis and early Hyperborean human tribes. The description of the gnophkeh as hairy cannibals, with large ears and proboscidean noses, gives me the mental image of much more vicious Melmacians. The voormis are described as having reddish fur, so the loincloths on these two are meant to be made of voormis skins.
