Kenkou's Notes

1. Night gaunts have wings and a tail even when unmarried, they just withdraw them to make room when their husband latches on.
2. Kenkou also mentions there that with the husband attached, they're basically entirely at his mercy, given that he takes over as their wings, so he decides where they fly and such, so they become pretty much entirely dependent on him in that way.</ref>

3. Another clarification by Kenkou, the unmarried one's wings are tipped by smaller claws, as opposed to the large, human-like hands the husband has.

Trivia

• This monster is based on creatures that appeared in H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle Novella series. The Night Guant made its first appearance in "The Dream-Quest of the Unknown Kadath".
• In the profile illustration, the only parts of the body that are the night gaunt herself are her humanoid body and her horns. The tentacles, wings and tail are formed by her husband, and are made of the same rubbery material as the suit that covers her skin. The female has wings and tail, but withdraws them so her mate can take over. Her wings' "hands" are smaller, more delicate, and end in claws. (source: Enty info article for the making of the night gaunt profile).
• Regarding the suit, it is formed from a mucus she excretes that later firms up into the rubbery layer (though more mucus can still seep out through it). The mucus releases some magical light of its own, while her tail and horns also glow with a soft light. The female body produces the most mucus from her fingertips and breasts, making these glow as well. The purple smoke emanating from her is produced from excess mana burning off. Touching it would likely coat you in mucus. (source: Enty info article for the making of the night gaunt profile).
• The tip of the tail is sharp, but (as seen in the profile) can open up to reveal another tail that releases a lot of mucus. It can even shoot the mucus (this speaks of the male's tail but it's not clarified if this only applies to the male's tail). (source: Enty info article for the making of the night gaunt profile).
