IX Mythos Bestiary
A byakhee's bloated abdomen contains the byakhee’s

What You See

hune organ, which enables it to fly through space at
faster-than-light speed. It also allows the creature to
issue a shriek that reverberates across vast distances and
even backward in time to arrange for allies to arrive
almost instantly. Byahkee are commonly summoned to
serve as spacefaring steeds for cults of Great Old Ones
and Outer Gods.

This flying organism resembles an
arthropod with a bloated abdomen.
It has huge claws, wings, and an
insectoid head.

In combat, a byakhee summons an ally and then
relies on its claws and proboscis to drain blood from
its foes. It cannot be injured by extreme cold or sonic
attacks, and its wholly alien mind renders it immune to
mind-affecting effects.

"There flapped rhythmically a horde of tame, trained, hybrid winged things...
not altogether crows, nor moles, nor buzzards, nor ants, nor decomposed
human beings, but something I cannot and must not recall."
—H.P. Lovecraft, The Festival
