Except for the whole toad-god part, they're a lot like Yeti.
There's no official visual representation of Voormis, but here are a couple of interpretations:

So that's three of the founders of the sword and sorcery subgenre: Lovecraft, Howard, and Smith ...
...And all three had lots of love for Yeti.
Awwwww.
P.S. Here's one visual interpretation of the toad-god, Tsathoggua, that I felt I had to share. Did I mention he's more of a toad-bat? Yep, he's more of a toad-bat.

Hello, I wanted to tell you this post on a post dedicated to the Yeti Blood Bowl: http://tasmancave.blogspot.it/2012/04/y-is-for-yhetee.html?showComment=1335543629768#c5104334444334362889
Cool! Thanks, Marco. I blogged about some concept art for Warhammer's Yhettee here.
Interestingly, it is a little known fact that a biographer of Clark Ashton Smith was George Haas, one of the early chroniclers of Bigfoot activity, who lived in the Bay Area, CA. George was an old friend of mine. I visited with him often in 1974-1975, and he shared that he was a great Edgar Rice Burroughs and Clark Ashton Smith fan. George's Bigfoot newsletter was legendary.
Thanks, Loren. Very interesting connection!
I have to say, your posts on the Yeti-like beings in Lovecraft, Smith and Howard are quite intriguing.
Thanks, man.
