Alien Species

The Star-Warriors are a mysterious extraterrestrial species from the constellation of Orion. They act as servants to the entities known as the Ancient Ones, which are enemies of the Great Old Ones.

The Star-Warriors are fiery luminous beings, vaguely humanoid in shape but enormous in size, with three pairs of flailing arm-like appendages.

They have been observed to ride in the night sky, mounted on limbless celestial beasts of burden, carrying strange tubular weapons to battle against the Great Old Ones.

Appearances[]

  • "The Lair of the Star-Spawn", by August Derleth and Mark Schorer (1932)

Notes[]

  • Although the term "Ancient Ones" is used in "The Lair of the Star-Spawn" to refer to the Elder Gods, Derleth would later use the same term to refer to the Elder Gods' enemies: the Great Old Ones.
