A mysterious alien species of flute and drum-playing shape-shifting blobs from the H. P. Lovecraft universe.
They were first mentioned in Lovecraft's short story "The Rats in the Walls," published in Weird Tales, March 1924: "It was the eldritch scurrying of those fiend-born rats, always questing for new horrors, and determined to lead me on even unto those grinning caverns of earth’s centre where Nyarlathotep, the mad faceless god, howls blindly to the piping of two amorphous idiot flute-players."
They are also featured in some August Derleth works, such as his 1945 novel, The Lurker at the Threshold.
Game company Chaosium named them "Servitors of the Outer Gods" and expanded upon them for their Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.
