	Very little is known about Nug and Yeb beyond some brief mentions in Lovecraft's letters and briefer mentions in revision stories. In a letter from September 1936 Lovecraft described Nug and Yeb as being twins, each one being spherical or oval in shape with a diameter of approximately 10 feet. Other than that, HPL described Nug and Yeb as being “a bit destructive ~~sometimes”~~ and having the ability to dissolve matter. Lovecraft coined the throw-away term "The Black Litany of Nug and Yeb" in one of his letter closings, and referred to Nug and Yeb off-hand in a couple revision stories, suggesting that rites dedicated to the beings are particularly repulsive and that subterranean shrines to them can be found beneath [[Irem]]. There is no evidence in Lovecraft's stories that Nug and Yeb themselves have ever been on Earth.
