The Call of Cthulhu
I was bored, and I decided to do a Google Image Search for Cthulhu, trying to find new avatar material. Well, I found some, but it wasn't quite what I had planned...
It seems, judging by GISing Cthulhu, that Cthulhu doesn't strike all that much fear into peoples' hearts anymore, as will become rather apparent once you get through a few pages of the search. Here's the Search For those of you who are too lazy, here are some of the most... interesting... images that I found... Cthulhu plush: http://www61.pair.com/talbert/pipeim...ws-cthulhu.jpg Summer Fun Cthulhu: http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/to...ulhu-Plush.jpg Santa Cthulhu: http://www.darkcarnival.com/gift_pag...hulu_santa.jpg Disco Cthulhu: http://www.memesis.org/garrett/sketc...co-cthulhu.jpg Cthulhu, the Ladies' Man: http://fanzinezombi.free.fr/ancnum/Z7/cthulhu.gif ...and of course... Hello Cthulhu! http://www.otherwonders.com/hanging/...octhulhubg.gif http://kuoi.asui.uidaho.edu/~kamikaz...lo_cthulhu.gif Personally, if I were Cthulhu, I'd feel a little insulted... but a little flattered at the same time. I mean, it's not every day that you get merged with Hello Kitty!. That's just me, though. |
That Hello Cthulu is the most adorable thing I've ever seen!
Golux |
It has gone mad in the depths of Ry'leh!
|
awwwww, he's so adorable.
|
|
I'm sad now. Instead of striking indescribable fear into the hearts of men, Cthulu has become a plush to for children to snuggle with?!
|
The bad ass evil sleeping "god" of the Lovecraft books. Someone back me up here, aren't his books the origin of the Necronomicon?
His stories are very good, and sometimes very disturbing. Some people actually believe that he was writing about real things and people, and that the Necronomicon, Cthulu etc. really exist. |

...just for the time being, it's in plush form. |

O.O! |
Hail Future Cultists!
Dread Cthulhu lays suspended betwixt sleep and death in the sunken city of R'lyeh and rash indeed is he who would awaken him from his deserved rest. La Cthulhu Fhtagn! -GH |
RASH? HE HAS A RASH!!!???
|
those have been around for a few years... same company that makes the Python stuff (plush bloody rabbit, Black Knight with removeable arms & legs, dead parrot)...

You deserve a decent answer. He has the head very similar to a cuttlefish http://www.tenhand.com/squid/cuttlefish-squid.jpg Lovecraft (a pulp horror/fantasy writer circa 1920s) describes him thusly… “If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings... It represented 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. This thing, which seemed instinct with a fearsome and unnatural malignancy, was of a somewhat bloated corpulence...” from the short story “The Call of Cthulhu” Here is a sketch of him by H.P., himself http://www.sodabob.com/Metallica/ima...hulhuSmall.jpg |
He looks to be an Illithid... or mind flayer for you laymans... from D&D... but I'm pretty sure (read: 100%) that the Illithids were based on this "loveable" creature...
|
I hate Ulithids. Mind Devour is evil.
Now that you mention it oghr, I do see the connection. |
coolness...the hello one is cute
|
Forget Cthulhu- all hail The Black goat of the woods with a thousand young!!!
La giant hamburger Fhtagn |
So that's what a Cthulhu looks like!?! A Star Wars character? :hmm: ;)

I am Shub Hamburgrath *whips out wallet* Let me show you some baby pics... http://www.paratime.ca/v_and_v/pics/darkyoung_bw.jpg Yaaah! -GH |
I love demon/monster sketches! Can you point me to where you found your child's pic GH?
|
Hail JohnnyCorpse!
That is your garden variety dark young of Shub Niggarath. The sketch has its origins in Chaosium's RPG Call of Cthulhu which is based on the stories of Lovecraft. They have a plethora of multi-eyed, amorphous, tentacled creatures to choose from. To glimpse them all in one sitting might possibly drive you mad. -GH |
i think it looks like zoidberg from futurama!
|
Verily, the ancient ones from the stars shall be mightily pissed at this.
The horror will come from the stars and devour us all. |
