Elder Thing
The Elder Things (also known as the Old Ones and Elder Ones) are fictional extraterrestrials in the Cthulhu Mythos. The beings first appeared, although not named, in H. P. Lovecraft's short story "The Dreams in the Witch-House" (1933). Additional references to the Elder Things appear in Lovecraft's short story "The Shadow Out of Time" (1936), and the novella "At the Mountains of Madness," which is the main source of information about them.
