Servitor of Outer Gods

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

...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.
— August Derleth's "Lurker at the Threshold (fiction)"

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.
