{{topquote|It was a paw, fully two feet and a half across, and equipped with formidable talons. After it came another paw, and after that a great black-furred arm to which both of the paws were attached by short forearms. Then two pink eyes shone, and the head of the awakened gug sentry, large as a barrel, wobbled into view. The eyes jutted two inches from each side, shaded by bony protuberances overgrown with coarse hairs. But the head was chiefly terrible because of the mouth. That mouth had great yellow fangs and ran from the top to the bottom of the head, opening vertically instead of horizontally.|H.P. Lovecraft, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath}}

'''Gugs''' are a race of [[giant]]s created by [[H.P. Lovecraft]] to populate the [[Underdark]]-equivalent portion of the [[Dreamlands]]. These towering brutes loosely resemble giant men covered in black fur, but their arms split at the elbow into two distinct grasping forearms, and their heads comprise of a single great vertically-opening toothy maw, with an eye to either side of it.

The gugs used to live on the surface, but their unseemly worship of [[Nyarlathotep]] and the Other Gods got them banished to the Underworld. From Lovecraft's writings, they appear to have a stone age culture, using wooden spears for weapons, yet erecting huge stone towers. They do not speak, but communicate with a language of facial expressions. Since their banishment, [[ghast]]s have become their principal food source. Though ghast-hunters must stay cautious, for a pack of ghasts can overpower and kill a gug.
