Cthulhu
An interpretation of Cthulhu in the sunken
city of R’lyeh
Cthulhu is a fictional cosmic entity created
by horror author H. P. Lovecraft in 1926, first
appearing in the short story "The Call of
Cthulhu" when it was published in Weird
Tales in 1928.
Cthulhu is one of the central Great Old
Ones of H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. It
is often cited for the extreme descriptions
given of its hideous appearance, its gargantu-
an size, and the abject terror that it evokes.
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, Cthulu, Cighulu, Cathulu,
Kutulu, Q’thulu, Ktulu, Kthulhut, Kulhu, Thu
Thu,[1] 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" (IPA: /ˈkɬʊl.ɬuː/ ?).[2]
S. T. Joshi points out, however, that Lovecraft
gave several differing pronunciations on dif-
ferent occasions.[3] According to Lovecraft,
this is merely the closest that the human vo-
cal apparatus can come to reproducing the
syllables of an alien language.[4] Long after
Lovecraft’s death,
the pronunciation kə-
THOO-loo (IPA: /kəˈθuːluː/) became common,
and the game Call of Cthulhu endorsed it.
After its first appearance in "The Call of
Cthulhu", Cthulhu makes a few minor ap-
pearances in other of Lovecraft’s works.[5]
August Derleth, a correspondent of Love-
craft’s, used the creature’s name to identify
the system of lore employed by Lovecraft and
his literary successors, the Cthulhu Mythos.
The Call of Cthulhu
The most detailed descriptions of Cthulhu in
"The Call of Cthulhu" are based on statues of
the creature. One, constructed by an artist
after a series of baleful dreams, is said to
have "yielded simultaneous pictures of an oc-
topus, a dragon, and a human caricature.... A
pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grot-
esque scaly body with rudimentary wings."[6]
Another, recovered by police from a raid on a
murderous cult, "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, prodi-
gious claws on hind and fore feet, and long,
narrow wings behind."[7]
When the creature finally appears, the
story says that the "thing cannot be de-
scribed," but it is called "the green, sticky
spawn of the stars", with "flabby claws" and
an "awful squid-head with writhing feelers."
The phrase "a mountain walked or stumbled"
gives a sense of the creature’s scale.[8]
Cthulhu is depicted as having a worldwide
doomsday cult centered in Arabia, with fol-
lowers in regions as far-flung as Greenland
and Louisiana.[9] There are leaders of the
cult "in the mountains of China" who are said
to be immortal. Cthulhu is described by some
of these cultists as the "great priest" of "the
Great Old Ones who lived ages before there
were any men, and who came to the young
world out of the sky."[10]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The cult is noted for chanting its horrid
phrase or ritual: "Ph’nglui mglw’nafh C’thul-
hu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn," which trans-
lates as "In his house at R’lyeh dead C’thulhu
waits dreaming."[11] This is often shortened
to "C’thulhu fhtagn," which might possibly
mean
"C’thulhu
waits,"
"C’thulhu
dreams,"[12] or "C’thulhu waits dreaming."
[13]
One cultist, known as Old Castro, provides
the most elaborate information given in Love-
craft’s fiction about Cthulhu. The Great Old
Ones, according to Castro, had come from
the stars to rule the world in ages past.
“ They were not composed altogether
of flesh and blood. They had
shape...but that shape was not made
of matter. When the stars were right,
They could plunge from world to
world through the sky; but when the
stars were wrong, They could not
live. But although They no longer
lived, They would never really die.
They all lay in stone houses in Their
great city of R’lyeh, preserved by the
spells of mighty Cthulhu for a glori-
ous resurrection when the stars and
the earth might once more be ready
for Them.[14]
”
Castro
points
to
the
"much-discussed
couplet"
from
Abdul
Alhazred’s
Necronomicon:
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may
die.[15]
Castro explains the role of the Cthulhu Cult:
When the stars have come right for the Great
Old Ones, "some force from outside must
serve to liberate their bodies. The spells that
preserved Them intact likewise prevented
them from making an initial move."[14] At the
proper time,
“
the secret priests would take great
Cthulhu from his tomb to revive His
subjects and resume his rule of
earth....Then mankind would have
become as the Great Old Ones; free
and wild and beyond good and evil,
with laws and morals thrown aside
and all men shouting and killing and
revelling in joy. Then the liberated
Old Ones would teach them new
ways to shout and kill and revel and
”
enjoy themselves, and all the earth
would flame with a holocaust of ec-
stasy and freedom.[16]
Castro reports that the Great Old Ones are
telepathic and "knew all that was occurring
in the universe." They were able to commu-
nicate with the first humans by "moulding
their dreams," thus establishing the Cthulhu
Cult, but after R’lyeh had sunk beneath the
waves, "the deep waters, full of the one prim-
al mystery through which not even thought
can pass, had cut off the spectral inter-
course."[17]
Star-spawn of Cthulhu
The star-spawn of Cthulhu, or Cthulhi, have a
physical similarity with Cthulhu himself, but
are of far smaller size. This race arrived with
him, but relatively little is known about them.
On Earth they built the city R’lyeh, which
later sank in the ocean, and where they still
dwell with Cthulhu. A few are rumored to
have escaped this incident, and can be found
in hidden places on Earth.
In "At the Mountains of Madness" the
"Spawn of Cthulhu" wage a great war against
the Elder Things after arriving on Earth. (See
below).
Elsewhere in Lovecraft’s
fiction
Cthulhu is mentioned elsewhere in Love-
craft’s fiction, sometimes described in ways
that appear to contradict information given
in "The Call of Cthulhu". For example, rather
than including Cthulhu among the Great Old
Ones, a quotation from the Necronomicon in
"The Dunwich Horror" says of the Old Ones,
"Great Cthulhu is Their cousin, yet can he
spy Them only dimly."[18] But different Love-
craft stories and characters use the term
"Old Ones" in widely different ways.
In At the Mountains of Madness, for ex-
ample, the Old Ones are a species of extra-
terrestrials, also known as Elder Things, who
were at war with Cthulhu and his relatives or
allies. These creatures were thought to ap-
pear
in human legends as
the
famed
sasquatch or Mi-go. They are crustacean-like
fungi beings. Human explorers in Antarctica
discover an ancient city of the Elder Things
and puzzle out a history from sculptural
records:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cthulhu
2
With the upheaval of new land in the
South Pacific
tremendous events
began.... Another race--a land race
of beings shaped like octopi and
probably
corresponding
to
the
fabulous
pre-human
spawn
of
Cthulhu--soon began filtering down
from cosmic infinity and precipitated
a monstrous war which for a time
drove the Old Ones wholly back to
the sea.... Later peace was made,
and the new lands were given to the
Cthulhu spawn whilst the Old Ones
held the sea and the older lands....
[T]he antarctic remained the centre
of the Old Ones’ civilization, and all
the discoverable cities built there by
the Cthulhu spawn were blotted out.
Then suddenly the lands of the Pa-
cific sank again, taking with them
the frightful stone city of R’lyeh and
all the cosmic octopi, so that the Old
Ones were once again supreme on
the planet....[19]
The narrator of At the Mountains of Madness
also notes that "the Cthulhu spawn...seem to
have been composed of matter more widely
different from that which we know than was
the substance of the Antarctic Old Ones.
They were able to undergo transformations
and reintegrations impossible for their ad-
versaries, and seem therefore to have origin-
ally come from even remoter gulfs of cosmic
space.... The first sources of the other beings
can only be guessed at with bated breath."
He notes, however, that "the Old Ones might
have invented a cosmic framework to account
for their occasional defeats."[20] Other stories
have the Elder Things’ enemies repeat this
cosmic framework.
In "The Whisperer in Darkness", for ex-
ample, one character refers to "the fearful
myths antedating the coming of man to the
earth--the Yog-Sothoth and Cthulhu cycles--
which are hinted at in the Necronomicon."
That story suggests that Cthulhu is one of the
entities worshipped by the alien Mi-Go race,
and repeats the Elder Things’ claim that the
Mi-Go share his unknown material composi-
tions. Cthulhu’s advent is also connected, in
some unknown fashion, with supernovae: "I
learned whence Cthulhu first came, and why
half the great temporary stars of history had
flared forth." The story mentions in passing
that some humans call the Mi-Go "the old
ones".[21]
"The Shadow Over Innsmouth" establishes
that Cthulhu is also worshipped by the non-
human creatures known as Deep Ones.[22]
According to correspondence between
Lovecraft and fellow author James F. Morton,
Cthulhu’s parent is the deity Nug, itself the
offspring of Yog-Sothoth and Shub-Nig-
gurath. Lovecraft includes a fanciful family
tree in which he himself descends from
Cthulhu via Shaurash-ho, Yogash the Ghoul,
K’baa the Serpent, and Ghoth the Burrower.
August Derleth
August Derleth, a
literary protégé and
founder of the publishing house that first
printed Lovecraft’s works, wrote several stor-
ies in the Cthulhu Mythos (a term he coined)
that dealt with Cthulhu, both before and after
Lovecraft’s death. In "The Return of Hastur",
written in 1937, Derleth proposes two groups
of opposed cosmic entities,
the Old or Ancient Ones, the Elder
Gods, of cosmic good, and those of
cosmic evil, bearing many names,
and themselves of different groups,
as if associated with the elements
and yet transcending them: for there
are the Water Beings, hidden in the
depths; those of Air that are the
primal lurkers beyond time; those of
Earth, horrible animate survivors of
distant eons.[23]
According to Derleth’s scheme, "Great Cthul-
hu is one of the Water Beings". Derleth indic-
ated that "the Water Beings oppose those of
Air"--a departure from traditional elemental
theory, in which water and fire were op-
posed—and depicted Cthulhu as engaged in
an age-old arch-rivalry with a designated Air
elemental, Hastur the Unspeakable, whom he
describes as Cthulhu’s "half-brother".[24]
Based on this framework, Derleth wrote a
series of stories, collected as The Trail of
Cthulhu, about the struggle of Dr. Laban
Shrewsbury and his associates against Cthul-
hu and his minions, culminating, in "The
Black Island" (1952), with the atomic bomb-
ing of R’lyeh, which Derleth has moved to the
vicinity of Ponape. Derleth describes Cthulhu
in that story as
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cthulhu

a thing which was little more than a
protoplasmic mass, from the body of
which a thousand tentacles of every
length and thickness flailed forth,
from the head of which, constantly
altering shape from an amorphous
bulge to a simulacrum of a man’s
head, a single malevolent eye ap-
peared.[25]
Derleth’s interpretations are not universally
accepted by enthusiasts of Lovecraft’s work,
and indeed are criticized by many for inject-
ing a stereotypical conflict between equal
forces of objective good and evil into Love-
craft’s strictly amoral continuity. [26]
Artistic imagery
Cthulhu has been depicted in a parody of the
Ichthys bumper ornament.
Cthulhu has served as direct inspiration for
many modern artists and sculptors. Promin-
ent artists that produced renderings of this
creature include Paul Carrick, Stephen Hick-
man, Kevin Evans, Dave Carson, Francois
Launet and Ursula Vernon. Multiple sculptur-
al depictions of Cthulhu exist, one of the
most noteworthy being Stephen Hickman’s
Cthulhu Statue which has been featured in
the Spectrum annual,[27] and is exhibited in
display cabinets in the John Hay Library of
Brown University of Providence. This statue
of Cthulhu often serves as a separate object
of inspiration for many works, most recent of
which are the Cthulhu Worshiper Amulets[28]
manufactured by a Russian jeweler. For some
time, replicas of Hickman’s Cthulhu Statuette
were produced by Bowen Designs.
