Arwassa, also known as The Silent Shouter on the Hill, is a Great Old One from the H.P. Lovecraft-inspired Cthulhu Mythos.
Description[]
Next to nothing is known about the Silent Shouter, other than it possessed a neck which ended in aught but a wailing, toothless maw, a human-like torso, and that in place of regular limbs it had long, grasping, tentacular appendages. Arwassa was believed by the people of the early part of the second millennium to have haunted the castles and stockades of Europe, it's uncanny cries driving those unfortunate enough to have been garrisoned there stark raving mad.
Arwassa’s current whereabouts and activities are unknown.
