Cthulhu:
Following my research I have found out many things about the Cthulhu demon, one being that he is from a species knows as "Great old one" and comes from a story called "The call of Cthulhu" written by H.P.Lovecraft which was published in "Weird Tales" which was an American pulp magazine. Cthulhu was depicted as a gigantic entity worshipped by cultists. I have also found that Cthulhu and its fellow entities exist now is the Lovecraft inspired universe known as the Cthulhu Mythos,

Cthulhu actually has a family of his own;
Azathoth - great-great-grandfather
Yog-Sothoth - grandfather
Shub-Niggurath - grandmother
Nug - parent

Cthulhu has many titles, one of them being High Priest of the Great Old Ones. The creature's name is possibly, although not confirmed, derived from the classic Greek word chthonic which means subterranean. This theory was suggested by H.P.Lovecraft himself at the end of another one of his stories entitled "The Rats in the Walls". Cthulhu is depicted as a creature that looks part octopus, part dragon and a human caricature. Lovecraft himself describes a statue of Cthulhu as "A monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind."

Cthulhu has since been referenced in many games and also is featured in many pop culture references. Cthulhu has also appeared as a parody candidate multiple elections and is usually used to ridicule voters who say they are voting for the "lesser evil".



There has since been a discovery of a new species of spider in California now called Pimoa Cthulhu described by Gustavo Hormiga in 1994.
