　The Nightgaunts, the servants of Nodens, are shiny, black and hairless. They have long, inward-curving horns, bat-like wings that make no sound when they beat, barbed tails that lash constantly, and only the barest suggestion of facial features. As their name implies, they come out only at night.

　Nodens keeps a few Nightgaunts stationed on Earth to do his bidding here, and they also frequent the Dreamlands. They stay in the loneliest, wildest places unless sent somewhere else by the will of their master. Nightgaunts can understand the meeping language of the ghouls and perhaps the tongues of other creatures as well.

　Nightgaunts are silent and virtually undetectable at night (Stealth and Camouflage skills of 16), and they will try to sneak up on their prey and grapple him. Usually they attack in groups.
Once their victim is immobilized, the Nightgaunts will sometimes carry him away to some hellish wilderness or wasteland and leave him there to die. Or they may merely hold him down and tickle him with their barbed tails. Although it does no permanent damage, the tickling of the Nightgaunts is a most discomfiting experience, leaving the victim bewildered, humiliated and disoriented. The victim will be completely helpless and immobilized from the time the tickling begins until 2d turns after it ends. The Nightgaunts are able to insinuate their tails into any clothing or protection short of hermetically sealed armor.
