Child of the Wind

The Children of the Wind are from Joseph Payne Brennan's City of the Seven Winds (fiction).

Description

They gibbered and gaped, rolling with the waves of wind, their dead-white eyes pressed close against the glass. I thought of corpses, long dead, lashed and flung in the troughs of an angry sea. Mouths ugly and grey as the belly of a moccasin mewed and moped. Slimy stumps which appeared to be some kind of appendages poked at the glass.
— Joseph Payne Brennan, City of the Seven Winds (fiction)

Children of the Wind are bloated, Ghoul-like apparitions found in desolate areas haunted by powerful winds, notably the Dyatlov Pass and the City of the Seven Winds. They seem to leave little or nothing behind them but bits of meat and bloodied bones.
