Gnophkeh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gnophkehs are a fictional race in the Cthulhu Mythos. They are hairy cannibals who once lived in the land of Lomar before it was invaded by people from Zobna. Gnoph-keh (note the hyphen) refers to a fictional species of non-humans that once dwelt in Hyperborea (present-day Greenland).

Gnoph-Keh is the name given to a single, exceptionally large member of the Gnoph-keh, possibly spawned by Aphoom-Zhah. This being may have procreated the Gnoph-keh race. He currently lies entombed in ice below Hyperborea.
