'''Servitors of the Outer Gods''' (AKA "Demon Flautists and Drummers", "Amorphous Idiot Flute-Players") originate in [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s "[[The Rats in the Walls (fiction)]]" (1924).

==Description==

<blockquote>
...Those grinning caverns of earth's centre where Nyarlathotep, the mad faceless god, howls blindly to the piping of two amorphous idiot flute-players....
<br>— [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s "[[The Rats in the Walls (fiction)]]"
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Toad-like creatures which seemed constantly to be changing shape and appearance, and from whom emanated, by some means I could not distinguish, a ghastly ululation, a piping.
<br>— [[August Derleth]]'s "[[Lurker at the Threshold (fiction)]]"
</blockquote>

Amorphous idiot, frog-octopus creatures which attend the Outer Gods at the court of [[Azathoth]] in the center of creation, playing hellish, daemoniac music on flutes, gongs, and drums.
