The Cthulhu Mythos was not planned, but grew organically out of Lovecraft's writing over time, passing through various phases of development, gradually moving from the Dreamlands stories to the more 'fantasy' stories of the Mythos to the more science-fictional explorations of alien cultures of the later Mythos stories.
The central concept of the Cthulhu Mythos is the insignificance of humanity and the dependence of human rationality and confidence in a lack of understanding of that fact.
Whether magical or technological, the powers of the mythos are damaging to human sanity because it exposes how human rationality is the result of ignorance rather than knowledge, and exposes the insignificance of humanity and the environment in which we flourish in the cosmic scheme of things.

Cthulhu as written of by Lovecraft (HPL): High Priest of the Old Ones who are Outside, that will be unleashed through the gate which is Yog-Sothoth.
Cthulhu - Lovecraft: The story "Call of Cthulhu" was a deliberate parody of the Book of Revelation; HPL said this in one of his letters.
Hastur: not a Cthulhu Mythos entity, a shepherd god [Ambrose Bierce], a force of stagnation and stasis [Robert Chambers] the enemy of Cthulhu [Derleth], the enemy of all the old ones hinted by saying those that wear the Yellow Sign are enemies of the Old Ones [HPL].

Back to the Love craft/Derleth Mythos: the two outlooks could be somewhat harmonized by remembering that Derleth's is probably that which most humans would take when confronted with the realization that monstrous beings exist, whereas Lovecraft's later tales come closer to explaining those beings' actual nature.
I suspect Abhoth is all that remained of him after he had spawned the efts of the prime---just a gray pulsing puddle under Mt. Voormithadreth in Hyperborea.
Still, no matter how "harmful" Derleth was to the Mythos (and I think he helped it, not harmed it), not enough mention was made in #6 of the fact that without Derleth’s Herculean labors over a span of more than three decades, HPL would still be shrouded in obscurity today.

Names from the Cthulhu Mythos as they were used by the EOD and SWS in the 1960s and 1970s.
ALSO from Lovecraft: Cthulhu, or at least ancient, alien Octopoids that resemble Cthulhu, alien, enemy of Crinoids or the Star-Headed "Old Ones" or "Elder Things" in the story "At the Mountains of Madness" that came to earth [HPL].
Cthulhu is quite different and HPL did say that in "The Call of Cthulhu." All of the other deities that others invented would be very similar to Cthulhu - that is, they reside in the Cosmos somewhere.

All the other major beings in the Cthulhu Mythos just seem to be forces of nature to whom destruction is just instinct, but not Nyarlathotep, just the fact that that he has hundreds of avatars shows that he is a thinking creative being.

Central to the mythos are the Great Old Ones, a fearsome assortment of deities led by the dreaded Cthulhu (though there are more powerful and monstrous beings in the Mythos than even he is), who lies in a state of hibernation in the lost and sunken city of R'lyeh.
The Great Old Ones are vastly powerful and ancient creatures who are often worshiped as gods by insane human cultists; many of them are made of unearthly substances which is not like normal matter.

The question of what constitutes a "god" in Mythos stories is a curious one.
Of the gods, there are those that are unique to the Cthulhu Mythos, and those others that are present in world mythology, but are referred to in Mythos stories.
Of these latter, some are identified with Mythos beings who have similar attributes; the implication is that the alien Mythos entities gave rise to varied myths in different cultures.

One of Call of Cthulhu's greatest strengths (a strength missing from nearly every other game) is a real sense of history -- that all of what has come before has some influence on current events, as well as current threats.

The literary works of Clark Ashton Smith are rich and colorful, and whether his creations are to be absorbed into the Cthulhu Mythos or not, his tales are well worth investigating, and they range from brooding horror to mystic fantasy.

I would judge any of them to be easily as or more difficult than Cthulhu, probably the most challenging Ancient One from the base game.
The Mythos should win 80% of the times to keep things in the Lovecraftian theme, not the other way around.
We are already playing the game with most of the "increased difficulty" suggestions given at Fantasy Flight's homepage and a few of our own, and we still win a bit to much for my liking (or in keeping with the theme).
