Topic: Star spawn of Cthulhu


  
  Cthulhu Mythos
Cthulhu Mythos is a generic name, coined by the writer August Derleth, for a particular type of horror story by the writer H.
The high priest of the Old Ones, Cthulhu, remains on earth in the sunken city of R'lyeh, beneath the Pacific Ocean, in a death-like sleep, until the day when the stars are right again, and he can awaken.
The Cthulhu mythos was first described explicitly in the story "The Call of Cthulhu".

When Cthulhu casts a spell that causes damage, the spell's firepower is increased to at least these levels depending on his skill: rank 1-6 Good, rank 7-18 Small Craft, rank 19-24 Light, rank 25-30 Medium.
When Cthulhu casts a spell that summons creatures, he summons a number of creatures equal to twice his skill rank (Lesser Races), equal to his skill rank (Greater Races) or one-third of his skill rank (servitors of the Outer Gods or dholes).
When Cthulhu has grappled a smaller opponent with his claw, he can crush or rend the opponent (doing additional claw damage) or draw the victim to his hidden mouthparts for digestion (damage as for claw, but type is En and is not reduced by morphing) while taking his next action normally.

 Cthulhu Elsewhere in Lovecraft
Cthulhu is profiled again, and perhaps given a new locale as well, in Lovecraft's much-underrated story "The Diary of Alonzo Typer" (1935).
In "The Call of Cthulhu", Cthulhu is said to be the great high priest of the Old Ones, implying that he is one of them, perhaps the greatest.

Cthulhu (alternate spellings: Tulu, Cthulu, Ktulu, and many others) is a fictional character in the Cthulhu Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft.
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 himself debuted in Lovecraft's short story The Call of Cthulhu (1928)—though he makes minor appearances in a few other of Lovecraft's works.

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.
Lovecraft, ultimately, was the first fully modern horror writer, more modern than many who came after him, who have based their terror on traditional boogeymen and fears in a modern setting, for he truly grappled with the deep issues of modernity and the modern view of the universe.
