Not Yeti Friday - Voormis

In 1933, sword-and-sorcery author Clark Ashton Smith wrote the short story, "The Seven Geases" as part of his Hyperborean cycle. Here he describes the race called Voormis - shaggy, bestial humanoids who dwell in the mountains and worship the underground toad-god, Tsathoggua.

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.
