The Keeper's Rulebook says that Nyarlathotep can summon monsters, but it doesn't say if it is at will, as a turn, or 5 minutes like the summoning spell. Since it's listed alongside his spells, I assume it functions like the summoning spell, but since monsters don't need to make initial spell rolls, it doesn't make sense for it to say he only needs 1 MP to summon hunting horrors and servitors of the outer gods, since it takes 1 MP to cast a summoning spell without spending more to make it more likely to work, and those two can already be summoned with it. Similarly, it says Bast can heal damage to herself or cats, but it doesn't say if it is at will or on her turn. Also, do the monsters appear right away, and can Nyarlathotep change forms at will? Because his stats don't say anything about it. I'm new to the rules, so I need someone to help me out.

I think that there are the Malleus Monstronum, the Grand Grimoire of Cthulhu Mythos Magic, Pulp Cthulhu, and Cults of Cthulhu (which also contains information for developing other Mythos cults I think). Everything else, it seems, is either an adventure module or a guide to a specific setting (ancient Rome, Victorian, Old West, etc.). Am I missing anything?

In the Keeper's Rulebook, it describes Nyarlathotep's forms, and after talking about the Bloody Tongue, it says that its tentacle stretches out when "the Thing" howls at the moon. I assume it's another name for the Bloody Tongue avatar, but it's never mentioned elsewhere, as far as I know, and why is it capitalized?

Like when the current version of the species is nothing like the original?

Can he turn into people and animals, or only stretch out and morph his own shape? The wording of the rules make it seem like he can shapeshift while still wearing the Pallid Mask, just not on his face.

In the Keeper's Rulebook, it says that Hastur has a strange tentacle underneath his mask. However, in the original story, the mask is a part of his body, although I haven't seen anything in the Keeper's Rulebook mention this. Does the mask open up?

Newbie to the mythos. I know that Cthulhu, Shub-Niggurath, Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, and Nyarlathotep were. Are there any others, including collaborations?

From what I've heard, Eastern Orthodoxy believes in a futurist view of the Beast from Revelation as a specific individual (the Antichrist) in the future. However, I've also heard that amillennialism is the historic view in the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Beast's defeat happens before the millennial reign of Christ, which an amillennial view says is not a literal millenium and is the era we are living in right now. How does that fit with the futurist view?
