Nyarlathotep (the Crawling Chaos) Nyarlathotep differs from the other beings in a number of ways. Most of them are exiled to stars, like Yog-Sothoth and Hastur, or sleeping and dreaming like Cthulhu; Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the Earth in the guise of a human being, usually a tall, slim, joyous man. Most of them have their own cults serving them, while Nyarlathotep seems to serve them and take care of their affairs in their absence. Most of them use strange alien languages, while Nyarlathotep uses human languages and can be mistaken for a human being. Finally, most of them are all powerful yet purposeless, yet Nyarlathotep seems to be deliberately deceptive and manipulative, and even uses propaganda to achieve his goals. In this regard, he is probably the most human-like among them. Nyarlathotep enacts the will of the Outer Gods, and is their messenger, heart and soul; he is also a servant of Azathoth, whose wishes he immediately fulfills. Unlike the other Outer Gods, causing madness is more important and enjoyable than death and destruction to Nyarlathotep. In this sense, he strongly resembles the traditional role of the devil.
Let discuss a possible dial and another {human} sculpt that transforms into this beast.

Hey brother Remz, happy to see you around these parts, been a long time! That "miniature" is beautiful, did you sculpt this eldritch horror yourself?

I know it's been a while hasn't it!? Yeah, I hand sculpted this beauty a couple of years back. It was not only a joy to sculpt, but it allowed me some freedom to use my imagination a bit more and overcome some creative challenges along the way; The skeleton pool is one example of this. There are a few pieces that I sculpted but never painted, so expect a few more pieces soon(ish).

I like that Cthulhu-Boy has made a 2 piece model, I intend on making Nyarlathotep in his Phaoro human form. As for the dial that I had in mind; you start the game with the human form and when you achieve something on the map (slay 3 victims? I think this would be fun because your opponent(s) would be trying to stop your slaying attempts frantically with PT cards. Anyway, I digress), he transforms into the Crawling Chaos. The dial should not have any skull clicks as Nyarlathotep is invincible. So there could be a more cryptic way to kill him (only critical hits cause death?). This dude should set you back 400 points?
Another way to look at it 😎
