If you can imagine a humanoid quadruped, go ahead...

Why imagine?

Sorry to resurrect the thread, we finally have a new picture of a Lascerdan!

In Cthulhu Dark Ages, page 144.

Compare the descriptions of the Lascerdans and the inhabitants of Lovecraft's Nameless City:

"They were a race of quadrupeds with a body shaped like a cross between a crocodile and a seal, with a strange head common to neither, involving a protruding forehead, horns, and an alligator-like jaw."

"They were of the reptile kind, with body lines suggesting sometimes the crocodile, sometimes the seal, but more often nothing of which either the naturalist or the palaeontologist ever heard. In size they approximated a small man, and their fore legs bore delicate and evidently flexible feet curiously like human hands and fingers. But strangest of all were their heads, which presented a contour violating all known biological principles. To nothing can such things be well compared—in one flash I thought of comparisons as varied as the cat, the bulldog, the mythic Satyr, and the human being. Not Jove himself had so colossal and protuberant a forehead, yet the horns and the noselessness and the alligator-like jaw placed the things outside all established categories."

There's been a couple of other pictures out there, I remember one in the Keeper's compendium for example.

Quadropet, fat (seal like) body but with thick reptillian skin, horns and an aligator like jaw?
