Lovecraft's The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath features a wide array of exotic creatures, sometimes organized into armed forces. I'm not sure I can remember them all. Zoogs, Gugs, Moonbeasts, Devil-Men of Leng, Shantaks, Nightgaunts, Ghouls, Ghasts, Bholes/Dholes, the god Nodens, the demon Nyarlathotep, the Yellow-Veiled High Priest. (Merely mentioned are Magah birds, and the Voonith, and Spiders of Leng).
The rest of his work tends to follow the formula of one main monster, or type of monster, per story, though other gods and monsters do get name-dropped.
