		+	The Tomb-Herd are soft, white, immaterial creatures which are drawn through space and time to the tombs of dead wizards to feed upon their magical essence. There are cultists of [[Yog-Sothoth]] who, for unknown reasons, provide artificial "bodies" for the Tomb-Herd to possess and animate, in the form of specially-prepared statues.

		+	==Heresies and Controversies==
		+	<!--
		+	Optional. This is a good place to include non-canon and controversial aspects of the creature's mythos.
		+	Suggested Alternative Theories include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation;
		+	"fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions;
		+	identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena;
		+	rumor and speculation... these contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos.
