Who is Cthulhu?


According to Lovecraft, humans can never fully understand Cthulhu because his very existence is beyond mortal comprehension. Lovecraft's universe contains many creatures that are equally incomprehensible. Some of these are known as the Great Old Ones, or the Old Ones, and are powerful, ageless beings from beyond the stars. Though Lovecraft used the phrase "the Great Old Ones" in contradictory ways, most of his fans accept that Cthulhu is one of these extraterrestrial beings that only partially exist in our dimension.

  1. i'm not necessarily a fan, but i'll accept that he's a multi-dimensional, extra-terrestrial being.

    because i mean, whatever, right? what do i lose by entertaining the possibility?

  2. You lose nothing Katie and gain the ability to be used by a being that thinks nothing more of you than a creature to control to do his bidding. :D
