The '''Gnophkehs''' are a fictional race in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. They are hairy cannibals who once lived in the land of [[Lomar]] before it was invaded by people from [[Zobna]]. [[Gnoph-keh]] (note the hyphen) refers to a fictional species of non-humans that once dwelt in [[Hyperborea]] (present-day Greenland).
 
 
 
The Gnophkehs resemble and may be the same as the [[voormis]].
