Cthulhu is a giant fictional creature, one of the Great Old Ones in H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. It is often cited for the extreme descriptions given of its appearance, size, and the abject terror that it invokes. Cthulhu is often referred to in science fiction and fantasy circles as a tongue-in-cheek shorthand for extreme horror or evil.

Cthulhu has also been spelled as Tulu, Clulu, Clooloo, Cighulu, Cathulu, Kutulu, Q’thulu, Ktulu, Kthulhut, Kulhu, Thu Thu, and in many other ways. It is often preceded by the epithet Great, Dead, or Dread.

Lovecraft transcribed the pronunciation of Cthulhu as "Khlûl'hloo". S. T. Joshi points out, however, that Lovecraft gave several differing pronunciations on different occasions. According to Lovecraft, this is merely the closest that the human vocal apparatus can come to reproducing the syllables of an alien language. Long after Lovecraft's death, the pronunciation kə-THOO-loo became common, and the game Call of Cthulhu endorsed it.

Cthulhu first appeared in the short story "The Call of Cthulhu" (1928)—though it makes minor appearances in a few other Lovecraft works. 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.

Awww he's such a cute little Cthulhu *pets* I know he's older than time and smarter than God, but like this he's cuter than a bunny.
But maybe this is why so many people worship the Cthulhu, because they are so adorable like this *pet pet gives some of my hooch and candies* Who could resist something this cute.

Que Cthulhu tan hermoso, jajaja, sería excelente tener uno así guindado en el carro y cuando por fin un hijo o sobrino te pregunte que de donde es esa figura tan tierna decirle: "Es un maldito monstruo gigantesco que puede destruir el mundo el solo
