| − | '''Moon-beasts''' are creatures in [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s Dream Cycle. They are “great greyish-white slippery things which could expand and contract at will, and whose principal shape — though it often changed — was that of a sort of toad without any eyes, but with a curious vibrating mass of short pink tentacles on the end of its blunt, vague snout” (''[[The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]]'', Lovecraft). They live on the dark side of the [[Dreamlands]]' moon which, unlike the moon of the waking world, has great forests and oily seas.

| − | The moon-beasts sail black galleys between the moon and the Dreamlands, trading rubies for both slaves and gold, at the port of Dylath-Leen. When there, they employ the [[Men of Leng]], disguised in turbans, as their go-betweens and stay hidden below deck, lest the merchants of Dylath-Leen learn the terrible secret of with whom they are dealing.
