Brother of Chaugnar Faugn

The Brothers of Chaugnar Faugn are alien creatures subordinate to the primal being known as Chaugnar Faugn. Originating from a higher dimensional plane, they came to Earth with Chaugnar in prehistory and started to feed on Earth's native life as it developed. For thousands of years, they have dwelt in a cave in the Pyrenees, and sent forth the Miri Nigri to abduct young Humans from the villages, so Chaugnar and its Brothers could feed on them.

Biology
The Brothers of Chaugnar Faugn have been described as "big green animals", and feed on the flesh and blood of Humans. Like Chaugnar, they appear to be both reptilian and elephantine in appearance.

Interestingly, Chaugnar's Brothers seem to be considerably larger than Chaugnar's 4 ft. stature, as their footprints alone are a yard wide. However, it is possible that they simply share Chaugnar's ability to increase in size at will. Their feeding method is also slightly different: although they also drain their victims of blood as Chaugnar does, the bodies of the Brothers' victims are found decapitated and exsanguinated, whereas Chaugnar's victims have their faces eaten and their entire bodies mauled and mutilated beyond recognition.

The Brothers of Chaugnar Faugn are not fully independent creatures, but actually extensions of Chaugnar, linked to it in some mysterious way via the higher dimensions, as part of the same superorganism. As a result, destroying Chaugnar's physical form will cause its Brothers to be destroyed as well. However, although they are linked, the Brothers are still separate entities, capable of conversing with Chaugnar telepathically and even disagreeing with it. This makes them the polar opposite of the Miri Nigri, which are physically independent beings, but have no mind of their own, being entirely controlled by Chaugnar.
