Anything insect-like would do.

A long time ago I read a short story by Lovecraft with Mi-Go in it, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember much of it. Though how I imagined the Mi-Go is quite different form the pictures.

I haven't read any stories with the Mi-Go, and some of the cards in that game I disagree/not care for with the looks (at least the ones I know of). Cthulhu himself has a few variations of card pics and abilities; one card has a better ability, but the other makes him look better.

I did an image search and found a fan drawing of the Mi-Go that (according to his and other people's comments) closely matches Lovecraft's description of them. http://nathanrosario.deviantart.com/art/...-114974351 It seems they made their first appearance in "The whisperer in Darkness".

Update: Here's a better image with the actual quote of their appearance by Lovecraft as the User Comments.

Cool and very creepy pictures both of them. But they still don't really match the image in my head. Eh, if I could draw, I'd make a picture myself, but unfortunately I suck at drawing.

Actually, I checked my short story collection and it was actually Whisperer in the Darkness that I had read!

I think the most horrible monster imagined by Frictional - is you, player. At least in Penumbra: Overture and surely in Amnesia: the Dark Descent the further I progressed through the world game, the more I realized that I am myself - is the most scary monster here, who do not deserve any mercy and forgiveness.
