CTHULHU

Cthulhu is depicted as a gigantic, tentacled creature with an octopus-like head, dragon-like wings, and a humanoid form. It resides in the underwater city of R'lyeh, where it lies in a death-like slumber, waiting to be awakened. The character is a central figure in the Cthulhu Mythos, a shared universe of horror stories by Lovecraft and other writers. Cthulhu represents existential terror and the insignificance of humanity in the face of vast, indifferent cosmic forces. The mythos has influenced a wide range of media, including literature, films, games, and popular culture.
