Bow down and worship the mighty Cthulhu

Cthulhu is H.P. Lovecraft's most famous and enduring creation.  The Great Old One is a massive ancient creature, the reach of his tentacles from R'lyeh should be feared by all mankind.

Check out the Creator of Cthulhu 

Three reasons to fear Cthulhu 

1. If you do not heed the call of Cthulhu and worship him he shall drive you mad.

2. Any being who's traveled across space and time to Earth is a formidable force.

3. If the Old Ones are scared of him you should be too.

About Cthulhu 

Cthulhu is a fictional cosmic entity created by horror author H. P. Lovecraft in 1926, first appearing in the short story "The Call of Cthulhu" when it was published in Weird Tales in 1928.

Cthulhu is one of the central Great Old Ones of the Lovecraft Mythos. It is often cited for the extreme descriptions given of its hideous appearance, its gargantuan size, and the abject terror that it evokes. Cthulhu is often referred to in science fiction and fantasy circles as a tongue-in-cheek shorthand for extreme horror or evil.

After its first appearance in "The Call of Cthulhu," Cthulhu makes a few minor appearances in other Lovecraft stories."Cthulhu Elsewhere in Lovecraft," Crypt of Cthulhu #9. August Derleth, a correspondent of Lovecraft's, used the creature's name to identify the system of lore employed by Lovecraft and his literary successors, the Cthulhu Mythos.

Ia Iay. Chthulhu fuh-TAH-gun, or is that Chthulhu fuh-TINE? I can never quite remember 'cause I'm not in my right minds Since I met you No one corrupts the way you do. You know it's true (Chorus) Oh, it's what you'll do to me Oh, and all humanity Oh, you'll rise up from the sea Oh, kill everyone slowly Except the one's like me Hey there Chthulhu, I've been studying your gospel The Necronomicon, it gives me nightmares something awful Where I see The death of all reality. It fills me with glee So when the stars are right, you'll come and do your worst But that's okay because I know you'll eat the cultists like me first When you get here I know that day is drawing near. I have no fear (Chorus) A billion light-years seems so far Below the sea, beyond the stars Of these humans' putrid souls you'll drink your fill The fools will all make fun of me But I'll just laugh maniacally 'Cause no one's ever suffered like they will Chthulhu, I can promise you That by the time this cult gets through The world will never ever be the same! Praise your dark name! Phn'glui mglw'nafh Chthulhu R'lyeh wagn'nagl fhtagn Boy, that's really quite a mouthful, can't quite cram it in my noggin Not today I try to say it anyway I feel my soul being to fray Still I await that frabjous day Chthulhu calay! (Chorus) Oh, kill everyone but me Everyone but me
