| “ | The Great Race's members were immense rugose cones ten feet high, and with head and other organs attached to foot-thick, distensible limbs spreading from the apexes. They spoke by the clicking or scraping of huge paws or claws attached to the end of two of their four limbs, and walked by the expansion and contraction of a viscous layer attached to their vast, ten-foot bases. | „ |

Summary
The Great Race of Yith are a race of sentient beings of extraterrestrial origin. They are capable of projecting their consciousnesses across time, inhabiting the bodies of individuals of other species and swapping their minds with their own. At some point in the distant past, they abandoned their original bodies for those of a species living on the primitive Earth and built a flourishing civilization on the planet in their new bodies.
They were eventually wiped out by a race of extraterrestrial beings known as the Flying Polyps, but they survived by projecting their minds en masse into an insectoid race that will one day inherit the Earth after mankind.
