Miri Nigri

The Miri Nigri are from Frank Belknap Long's "The Horror from the Hills".

Description

[Chaugnar Faugn] made from the flesh of toads a race of small dark shapes to serve it. In bodily contour these shapes resembled men, but they were incapable of speech and their thoughts were the thoughts of Chaugnar.
— Frank Belknap Long's "The Horror from the Hills"

Cruel, dark, mute, toad-like, amphibious dwarven creatures created to serve Chaugnar Faugn, sent down in small mobs from their Pyrenees mountain-temples twice a year to kidnap young men and maids to feed to their vampiric god on the days when it awakens from its inert, stone-like slumber.

The Tcho-Tchos are said to have been fashioned or evolved from the Miri Nigri, and the two races are allied and often accompany each other.
