	Elder God (Cthulhu Mythos) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Elder God is a fictional deity in the Cthulhu Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft.

		The predecessors of the current generation of gods in the Marvel Universe were also known as Elder Gods and were likely inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos.

	Cthulhu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the cycle of stories written by Lovecraft, his protégés, and his literary successors bear the label "Cthulhu Mythos" (a term invented by August Derleth and never used by Lovecraft), Cthulhu is arguably one of the least terrible creatures in the pantheon.
		Cthulhu is a Great Old One and is by far the most prominent member of the group, as he is their High Priest.
		It is implied that Cthulhu will ultimately require the assistance of his human cult to escape from his watery tomb in R'lyeh, though this hubris runs counter to Lovecraft's defining philosophy that mankind is insignificant in the cosmic scheme of things.

	Cthulhu Mythos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cthulhu Mythos is the term coined by the writer August Derleth to describe the shared elements, characters, settings, and themes in the works of H.
		[T]hese Elder Gods were benign deities, representing the forces of good, and existed peacefully at or near Betelgeuze in the constellation Orion, very rarely stirring forth to intervene in the unceasing struggle between the powers of evil and the races of Earth.
		Another problem with Derleth's mythos is that the Elder Gods never appear in Lovecraft's writings; except for one or two who appear as "Other Gods", such as Nodens in Lovecraft's "The Strange High House in the Mist" (though perhaps this is an example of how "very rarely [they stir] forth"; i.e., usually never).

		In The Cthulhu Mythos it is not a question of will he awake, or can he be stopped from once again ruling the world, but simply a question of when he will do so.
		Cthulhu is the purest example of Lovecrafian horror, an unstoppable horror, that there is no escape from, something ancient before mans existance, and that will exist long after we have fallen.
		It is the futility of mans existance compared to that of the universe, that is the cornerstone of the Cthulhu mythos.

		He was originally the god of primeval darkness, even though there is some debate over whether Azathoth was merely an Elder God, or their one true master.
		The Elder Gods, for their own purposes, created a race of primitive creatures called Shoggoths, who were said to be protoplasmic entities of alterable size.
		According to the Cthulhu Mythos, the Shoggoths were accidentally created by Ubbo-Sathla, a god-like Shoggoth entity responsible for the creation of all life on Earth.

		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.

		"I was indeed familiar with the Cthulhu Mythos, with its remarkable lore in essence so similar to the Christian Mythos of the expulsion of Sathanus and his followers and their ever-ceaseless attempts to reconquer heaven" ("The Black Island").
		The accurate understanding of the Derleth Mythos has been waylaid by Derleth's own partly misleading statement that the principal biblical parallel is to Satan's revolt.
		When he outlined the parallel he saw between the Cthulhu Mythos and the biblical one, Derleth usually discussed Satan's fall from heaven, but he does mention "Beelzebub" in the same breath with Cthulhu and company in "The Horror from the Middle Span".

	The call of cthulhu
		Michael Bertiaux mixes voodoo and the Mythos to perform a Magick that lies outside of almost all of the usual classifications, a dark, near hell-broth who's ideas and influences spread far beyond the shores of the USA where he is based.
		Phil Hine has pointed out that the mythos in many ways is the kind of, “real Magick” that many new-comers to the occult are seeking, a sort of, “virgins and demons” world where dark powers skulk through the streets and wild places always hungry for victims and those who would worship them.
		Others, while not working towards the extinction of mankind see the mythos as valuable in that it grants access to green magicks without falling into the trap of seeing nature anthropomorphosied into ideas of gods and goddesses of an unchallenging and weak kind.

		Supreme among them is the blind idiot god Azathoth, who sits formless at the center of the universe "encircled by his flopping horde of mindless and amorphous dancers, lulled by the thin monotonous piping of a demoniac flute held in nameless paws."
		Cthulhu is a Dating Game contestant's worst nightmare: "a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face [is] a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind." Oh, and he's as big as a mountain.
		The Mythos is populated by many lesser figures: Dagon, whose Deep One servitors are the fish-people mentioned above; Hypnos, god of sleep; the Mi-Go, or Fungi from Yuggoth (i.e., Pluto), insectile things that steal brains and store them, still living, in cannisters; plus shoggoths, shantaks, dholes, flying polyps, nightgaunts, dimensional shamblers, and other cheery folks.

	Eidos Forums - What is the Elder God?
		I mean, if you really think about it, The Cthulhu was worshipped blindly by the people, and people like Moebuis worshipped the Elder God blindy..I mean his faith changed once he truly saw that he was worshipping nothing more than a monstrous creature.
		Also, look how blindly Raziel followed the Elder God's orders at first...when his rage subsided, he came to his sense and realized something was up, and now we see that the Elder God appears to be opposed to the Vampires for some undisclosed reasons.
		I do see and agree with the traits of The Elder God which mimic that of the Cthullhu, however it's important to recognize that if the Cthullhu was actually the inspiration, then it's in an adaptive sense.
