Tehom/The primordial darkness before the light=Outsiders
skaerber:
Well if we think of the generic outsider (is there a generic outsider?) as say, one of Cthulhu's starspawn (if Cthulhu is supposed to be Nemesis tables will be flipped) it would make sense that they at least have the ability to work perfectly with each other.

1) The Elder/Great/Old Ones of the Dresdenverse, in parallel with the Lovecraftian creatures, are trans-dimensional non-atmospheric space aliens.
2) The Outsiders, the lessers of the Elder/Great/Old Ones, are smaller-scale than the others, but of similar natures and evolution. But they're still space aliens.
I've got this whole "tentacles are cosmic gravity propellers" idea in my head. It's very believable... from a certain point of view.You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.

Technically, Tehom is a space alien :P.

Why? Do they have that ability in one of Lovecrafts stories?

It was mentioned in "At the Mountains of Madness", I unfortunately have not read that one (I only have the "Call of Cthulhu" compilation sadly enough), if anyone else can answer feel free.

the elder things, I believe, have wing like structures they use to fly through space by warping gravity, yes
note they are not outsiders, IMO. they are alien life forms from ancient times but not evil; they are scientists.
while not human and not friends of humans, I think in the lovecraft verse they have the best chance of actually stopping the greater evils.
after they finish dissecting us for their experiments, of course :)
