...Nyarlathotep, the mad faceless god, howls blindly to the piping of two amorphous idiot flute-players....
— H.P. Lovecraft's "The Rats in the Walls (fiction)"
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.

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.
