SOURCES:
Carnacki The Ghost-Finder by William Hope Hodgson (1913)

DESCRIPTION: "'The monstrosities of the Outer Circle are malignant towards all that we consider most desirable, just in the same way a shark or a tiger may be considered malignant, in a physical way, to all that we consider desirable. They are predatory - as all positive force is predatory. They have desires regarding us which are incredibly more dreadful to our minds when comprehended than an intelligent sheep would consider our desires towards its own carcass. They plunder and destroy to satisfy lusts and hungers exactly as other forms of existence plunder and destroy to satisfy their lusts and hungers. And the desire of these monsters is chiefly, if not always, for the psychic entity of the human." ("The Hog" by William Hope Hodgson)

NOTES: These ab-human terrors lurk outside our dimension looking for an opportunity to attack. They can be repelled by magic or Science (such as Carnacki employs). It is likely they will win out in the end if The Nightland is a forcast of our future.

HISTORY: The Saatii Manifestations are discussed in the infamous Sigsand Manuscript, a precursor to The Necronomicon, perhaps one of Lovecraft's influences.
