    So /tg/
    Baby birds are fucking terrifying. Worse then spiders and bears. Lets see if we can create a race of eldritch horrors based on them.

    I feel it is important to note two things:
    1. Raptors are Avian.
    2. This species of bird are from Australia.

    Baby sharks are worse. They practice active cannibalism in the womb by eating their siblings for nourishment.

    They look so soft and vulnerable. Imagine picking one up, it's tiny beating heart. Calling out for help as my warm hand cradled it carefully. My gigantic fingers reaching closer and grasping one of its little eyes. Squeezing softly whilst it tried to squirm free. Gradually increasing the pressure until it's hidden eyeball popped with an audible mush. Its cries doubling in need.

    So take those, scale them up to the half a ton range, add a long tail, shrink the eyes to nearly nothing, and have them live in deep caves?

    Obviously not any of the major Lovecraftian horrors, but passable as standard, predatory, dreamlands fauna.

    You want horrifying? Marsupials give birth to their young at an extremely underdeveloped stage. The half cooked fetus then has to crawl from the vagina up and across the parents body and into their pouch where they can then continue their growth. It's like an abortion crawling back up your leg trying to get back in.

    Okay, I'll take a crack at this.

    Okay, first off if we're talking eldritch horrorbirds we've got to be talking hueg. So, let's make this thing a good 15 feet tall, probably something like 20 or so feet long tip-to-tip. Now that it's hueg, time to make it fucking scary as hell. Keep the giant unformed eyes, the shiny, flesh-coated beak, and the general pinkness of the whole thing. Also, it has four heads each extending from the main body on a long, thin, and weak looking neck, craned in odd twisted forms. The wings will be more akin to shattered arms, with two digits at the ends for manipulation, the rest extending back like normal wing-bones.

    Now that it at least looks scary, it has to have some alien motivations to be a true eldritch horror.

    These creatures cannot see the world that they depend upon to survive, so let's roll with that.

    They are unnaturally hungry and needy. They are in constant need to be fed and cared for, so they're likely pathetically weak. This need is something I can run with, though. You see, each of their gaping beaks constantly is open in that 'dear god, feed me' look baby birds always have, and they constantly speak in whispered tones. They constantly ask of their mother, screech for sustenance and love, and know your deepest hidden sins. These monstrosities feed upon your emotions and will extract every last drop of your spiritual essence.

    Just imagine running into one of these things in the dreamscape.

    You're traveling in an ethereal cave, lost and cold. You've been hearing whispers on the wind, whispers of past truths you've fought to hide. All the guilt your mother has ever put you through now rests on your shoulders and in your ears again, fresh and stinging. As you come around a corner you see it, the cause of all this suffering. A two-stories tall creature of bright, slimy, pink flesh with four heads each grasping weakly at the air atop long and twisted necks, its long arms broken backward with only two digits to manipulate the world around it. The black orbs where a normal creature might have eyes, covered in a film of pink flesh stare deep into you as the horrid aberration simultaneously asks for its mother and speaks in your mother's own voice speaking every harsh word she has ever said in your direction.

    This is the horror of the motherthief.

    Don't describe them as 15 feet tall three headed monsters, thats too cartoonish and cliché.
    Make them human sized with all the other attributes you described. In a dark cave they could pass as naked, shivering, covering humans until they hear you and raise their head and turn around and scramble towards you awkwardly and helpless, amplifying the fear and confusion you feel to feast on it. At first they sound helpless and pathetic but the closer they come the more agitated they get because they're always hungry and always cold and frightened. And god help you if they manage to reach you.

    What if these creatures are like cuckoos? They may be small, they may be fuckhueg, but the point is that the creature inserts itself into the family of another species. It destroys the true children and for some reason the new parents become convinced that the Nagnanakaw is their own child, and they have to take care of it and feed it.

    But it's always hungry and it never wants to be left alone.

    A Nagnanakaw on the dreamscape is a horrible thing. It leaves shriveled dismembered corpses in it's wake. The creatures feeding on not just the physical but the essence. Leaving a sickly unsavory feeling when you view the remains of a victim it has caught.

    This however has nothing on one that manages to come to our world. The essence of the dreamscape comes with it and empowers it. It's visage is still fully visible to it's victim. Though it shifts in size, capable of warping to get into any entrance to chase the one it sees.
    However, after taking a victim it coats itself in that victims memories. Altering the perceptions of those that knew the victim. Thus the true horror occurs when after hunting one of these down to remove it's corruption from the world. You find the departed's mother cradling the creature. Unaware the Nagnanakaw must feast on meat as well as emotion.
    It's always too late. The best course of action is to simply burn the entire display.
    Beware while giving it's victims a swift death is surely what your heart desires, the Nagnanakaw is far more docile while feeding. It is thus best to kill it first and quickly before changing targets. Be swift though as once dead it's illusion fades and the tongue is the last thing it takes from it's prey.
