   Cthulhu

Cthulhu is the god demon. Its come first into mind when people thinks of Lovecraft's writing. Through the years, we have come across tremendous amounts of tremendous demons, demons and gods through our television screens. But Cthulhu remained chillingly eerie because of what its represent.

The idea that we are not alone and not only that, the rest of the forces in the universe do not care about us. We are as insignificant as a tick. And just as helpless against these demonic forces as well.
The way Cthulhu impresses his followers symbolizes this complete existential terror. They are not going crazy to say, but are waking up to the truth of their boundless place in the roaring system of an uncontrolled universe.
Oh, yes and Cthulhu also looks like "a mixture of octopus, dragon and a human caricature" ... vaguely a monster of anthropoid outline, but an octopus-like head with a tired, rubber-looking body on its face, hind. And on front legs, claws and long, back narrow claws. This thing, which was comfortable with a sinister and unnatural maliciousness, was somewhat bloated. "

Cthulhu, was also introduced by H.P. Lovecraft in his story "The Call of Cthulhu", published in the journal Ajink Dastan in 1928. The creature is described as "a monster of obscure anthropology", but an octopus-like head with a group of thinkers on its face, a spooky, rubber-looking body, hind and claws on the front legs, And long, narrow wings behind. It is said that it is so terrible to see that it destroys the sanctity of the watchers.

Cthulhu is known as the priest or leader of the old people, a species that came to Earth from the stars before human life. The Old Ones became dormant, and their city slipped under the crust of the Earth beneath the Pacific Ocean. He communicated with humans by telepathy, and, in hidden corners of the world, remembered uncivilized people and worshiped Cthulhu in rites described as abominable. Among these groups were statues of Cthulhu, which appeared to be made of materials not found on Earth

Lovecraft wrote other stories set in the same universe that cthulhu was inhabited, among them "The Nameless City" as well as the novel The Whisperer in the Darkness. Although Lovecraft did not live long enough to see the success of his work, other writers began writing stories about Cululhu Mythos in the decades following his death. They included Robert Balloch, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Alan Moore. By the 21st century, the Cthulhu mythos had become a cultural phenomenon. In addition to metafaction, Mystos includes music (much more important), horror movies, and, perhaps most notably games, board games, card games, tabletop role-playing games, and video and online games.
