Uhluhtc

Uhluhtc is the primary god worshipped by the antagonists in the DEN series of comics and graphics novels by Richard Corben. Human sacrifices are offered to it in the world of Neverwhere the stories take place and it is also the source of the Locnar or Loc-Nar, the single most powerful magical artefact of Neverwhere and in the film version of the story indeed the entire universe.
Uhluhtc's name is Cthulhu reversed, and the god is similar to the 1970s popular culture idea of Cthulhu as an alien monster and worshipped entity, looming as a shadowy presence over rituals carried out in his name rather than normally appearing as a physical being except in climactic battle. The attribution of a human concept of definite evil to Cthulhu may seem to be definitely in the same vein as August Derleth and his conceptualization of the Mythos however the world of DEN is an amoral one where most of the characters shift in attributes, attitudes and even appearance. Seen in this context the "evil" of Uhluhtc, at least in the original comic book version, is more along the lines of tyranny, The Establishment and a kind of wickedness and harshness. The most objectively "evil" aspect of Uhluhtc is its love of human sacrifice.
