Just realized the auto posts I set up didn't go for whatever reason soooo here's the ones that should have posted. 

The prompt today is Eldritch Horror....

This is the Hunter in the pit, a strange entity that exists within the Realms of Madness....

The  realms of madness are an everchanging eldritch nightmare. A formless  world of emotion, dripping violence, and crushing despair. This world is  made of suffering and pure, uncontrolled chaos. However various  powerful alien entities have been born into this formless void and  brought shape and life into the infinite space. Like a cancer pulsating  through reality the corruption spreads, reaching out to every universe,  through every multiverse, an all consuming eternity of incomprehensible  creatures and mind rending landscapes. Though the realms are always  changing, shifting, and taking new forms, some have been solidified and  forced into being, constantly taking a similar form as important places  or things to these chaotic creatures seem to burn their way into the  aether. Of these famous locations exist places such as the Field of  Crosses, a strange religious land littered with tombs and crosses, and  roamed by various things that emerge from the darkplace surrounding it  to cruxify all that enter.  The fleshwastes of the Meat Mother, where  the throbbing moon of her fecund form drips putrescence into being, and  of the corpsefields of Nagoob that boarder these lands. And yet another  is the misty realm of blasphemy where the holy dare not tread. Among all  of these locations are various horrors that tear away a man's sanity,  however there are a few creatures willing to move throughout these lands  and has no one territory. The one known as the Hunter in the Pit.

A  large strange creature, tanned and fleshy, with protruding veins and  lumpy mottled skin, it's back is lumpy with vertebrae that tent it's  seemingly thin flesh, It's forelegs are bent and human like, ending in  tattered human feet that stand backward on it's tip toes, and it's back  legs are similar, but bent like a grasshopper's, and also facing  backward with a third digitigrade joint. It's head is an oblong and  bloated lump, with a wide crooked smile and massive teeth lining a red  and sore looking mouth. It's eyes seem to sit at the bottom of stretched  sockets, and strangely enough it tends to have a huddled bald and  emaciated human growing from between it's eyes like a nose of some sort.

The  creature is as mysterious as it is deadly, moving with a strange and  floating gait, taking a leap and hovering silently through the air for  several seconds like a drifting balloon before landing again. It moves  slowly usually, unless it spots a creature in which it will give chase.  The Hunter in the Pit has a strange ability that causes creatures to  wish to scream or yell out whenever they see it. They must often bite  themselves or otherwise find a way to keep themsleves from making a  sound if hiding and they see the creature, or the hunter will hear where  it is and know it's location. It always remains completely silent and  can stand and stare or watch for days on end in a single position if it  feels that something may be hiding nearby. It may even hide on walls or  upside down on ceilings, and occasionally waits even if it knows of a  person's location, and attacks after they believe that they're in the  clear.

It is a large creature, bigger than  a camel, and as such cannot reach every location it wishes to traverse  too, and as such it will crouch down and release the creature on it's  face, called by moth a seeker, or a hound. This creature will detach  from the hunter and shamble forward into small areas as it searches for  the hunter's prey. The Hunter may have more than one of these creatures  at a time attached to it's body, and often times hunters will adhere  many still living bodies to it'self and use them to hide among corpse  piles, or sit in corners to appear as a pile of corpses itself. All of  these bodies can be detached and sent to new locations to track down  prey, and these silent zombie like hunters immediately alert the hunter  whenever they spot a creature. Whenever the hunter catches a creature,  it often bites into it, however it will also simply stand and distend  it's jaw, as creatures who see the void within must resist the urge to  climb inside of oblivion. On other occasions the hunter has been seen  opening it's maw and releasing various creatures out into the world such  as the mongrel men.

The pit referred to in  it's name is a deep endless chasm that worms it's way through the realm  of madness and makes it's way through multiple dimensions. A massive  canyon like hole that descends down in the realm of madness, surrounded  by various small settlements of displaced humans that found themselves  living in such a place. The pit is an endless hole, with hundreds of  thousands of branching caves and holes that can be entered by those  scaling the cliff's edge. Tunnels may go on for miles only to taper off  into caverns too small to fit through, others are maze like and connect  to ancient temples, or worm their way to other dimensions or parts of  the realm of madness beyond other dimensions and potentially reaching  every reality. Some believe this pit was created when the World Shadow  bore through the multiverse to touch the radiance of Yggdrasil, others  believe it to be the location where the red king first emerged from the  madness to sit on the throne of Azathoth, And others believe it to be  where the Chicxulub crashed through reality and fell to earth, tearing  away the fabric of time and space to allow the old ones to breech our  reality, and some still state what whatever made this hole still waits  at the bottom of infinity, gnawing through further into oblivion. No one  is sure, only that it is an endless pit and that those lost in the  realm of madness occasionally attempt to brave it to find a way back to  their home. Those that traverse the Pit find strange worlds, entire  cities from other dimensions, forgotten skies from distant worlds and  remnants of the hunter. The hunter will follow creatures through every  portion of the pit, and it will track creatures for lifetimes or even  generations. It is believed that this is how the hunter reaches the  locations it does, emerging from the pit only to return with new prey.

The  Hunter could potentially be a race of creatures, though no one has ever  seen more than one at a time. but people have also claimed to have been  hunted by it at the same time in different locations. It is unknown if  this is because the entity does not follow the rules of reality or  physics and can appear in multiple locations at once, or if they are  simply avatars of a greater being. Those who attempt to fight the hunter  find it to be a difficult task, and while extremely heavy weapons fire  can cause some damage, though rarely enough to truly leave a mark, it  will slow the creature from pursuit for a short time. Some claim to have  seen it completely subsumed by fire and explosions, only to see it  years later approaching them with an air of remembrance, or leading  parades of horrid things along a nightmarish path.

Though  it has no true relation, it has been stated that it is somehow  affiliated with the mirror caught entity known as the Politician, and  with the painted nightmare, the Blue Gentleman as they all share similar  faces and have been seen interacting with one another at one point or  another, all three powerful creatures thought to be eldritch minor  deities of some sort akin to the Traveler in the dark....

The  Government has run across this creature in very few occasions, finding  it during war time in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam near cave areas where  reports of missing people or monster sightings were reported. It has  been the subject of several attacks and operations to eliminate it or  infiltrate the pit to no success, and it's appearance actually led to  the group known as Argos eventually putting together the organization  known as P.R.I.M.E.

For now it's unknown  what this creature is. Solely that if one encounters it, they should  stay quiet and hide, and if that is impossible...

Run.

This prompt is Old is New.....

This is a Carnadon, specifically a Carnadon Berserker.

The  Iguanadon lived about 126 million years ago, and was discovered in 1825  by British geologist Gideon Mantell when visiting a patient,  unknowingly setting into motion events that would lead to many more  dinosaurs being discovered, and sending the world into a dinosaur frenzy  as knowledge of ancient beasts began to flood the world. Years later,  in 1890 archaeologists would find bones of a similar dinosaur near an  unexplored cave system in Germany. These bones were thousands of years  old, but just that. Though it was the find of the century, proving that  some dinosaurs had escaped the extinction event to modern day, and  learning that the locals had told a story about a creature known as "Daumen Eidechse" for years it was believed that the creature may be found alive. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Royal Library confiscated  the bones and demanded silence of everyone involved. This led to an  expedition led by the famed explorer and inventor J.C. Everly Atkinson  of the Hermetic order and the Royal library in a joint venture with the  Vatican into the cave system, and they found an opening that led down  into the planet and an entrance into the Hollow Earth.

Though  this expedition would find a great many discoveries kept secret to the  greater world, the discovery we are here to speak of today is the  creature known as the Carnadon.

During the  apocalyptic event that caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.  Many dinosaurs found their way into deep massive cave structures that  led to the center of the earth, which was hollow. Here they would live  and thrive in new environments, undisturbed by man for millions of  years, and evolving to suit their new environment. The Iguanadon thrived  in this underground biome, and continued life for quite some time,  until several herds of Iguanadon, separated by location, began to evolve  differently. With one family, the Iguanadon became more hunched, and  grew a horn to protect itself, and a longer tail that would drag behind  it. This creature came to be known by the expedition as the  CeratoIguanadon. The other family had evolved to stand more upright, but  to walk on it's knuckles like a gorilla as it's fingers became more  aposable and it's brain grew to grant it improved cognitive abilities.  They became omnivores, though they gravitated more toward meat due to  the environment they lived in having more herbivores, and thus making  the herbivores a better food source than the food they consumed. They  began to learn how to utilize tools, and developed a hard shell like  structure to protect themselves from their enemies, which eventually  grew to have a pincushion like appearance with massive spikes, akin to  that of their thumb, began jutting out from the shell, and eventually  they grew into a very long and sharp form of protection..

Carnadons  live in tribes, in manners similar to primitive man or apes, building  shelters near cave entrances, in shade, and beneath large bent trees  that are placed together to make homes or huts. They use their massive  spiked thumbs to kill prey and to fight for territory and mates, with  the males being those who are vying for female attention. However they  have also learned to craft and utilize tools, such as knives, spears,  and axes, and even to craft items like maces and clubs using pieces of  machinery and technology left by humans and creatures such as the Gobos  or the Serpentfolk. They speak a rudimentary language and some even seem  to keep records with finger painting using berries or blood  on walls.  The carnadons are very aggressive and territorial, and are willing to  fight almost any creature that moves into it's territory, save for some  of the kaiju that exist down beneath, and even then some tribes would  band together in hunting parties to attempt to defeat or take down such a  beast as food or just for trophies and armor. During the expedition  humans came across several Carnadons, and ended up needing to evade them  and fight back against the deadly creatures. Some humans were smashed,  and a few captured and eaten. Their society seems to be patriarchal,  with a single large male known as a "King" by the team, and with several  consorts, though often with a preferred consort known as the "Queen".  The society is built up of warriors, caretakers, and hunters. The  warriors protect their settlements at home, and more often than not aid  in building. The caretakers are female and rear the children, and the  hunters go out on expeditions in groups of 2-4 to hunt or gather  berries, fruit, or vegetables. Among the hunters and warriors are  Carnadons dubbed "Berserkers" as they are much more physically imposing  than the others and seem to attack with a violent and reckless abandon  and a much more animalistic fury, seemingly calling aggro to itself from  the rest of the group to allow them to go mostly unharmed. It seems  that the hunters are at the top of society right after the king,  followed by the warriors, and then the caretakers being at the bottom of  the societal barrel with the children.

The  Carnadons seem to possess a curiosity with humans, and despite killing  them on sight, do seem to find humans interesting in a way akin to  monkeys at the zoo. It was witnessed that though they seem to be very  primitive, they have learned to utilize medicine already, and use it to  heal or soothe wounds, and they also possess organized religion as it  seems they revere the core of the earth like the sun, and they also seem  to give praise to the Kaiju known as Zolgaga and Makudu.

The Carnadon tribe exists deep within the hollow earth to this day, simply kept from the public eye...

I found this old monster I made of foam clay when I was little, and thought he could be given new life :3
