Othuum

Othuum (The Oceanic Horror) is a Great Old One from the expanded Cthulhu Mythos. It was first mentioned in Brian Lumley's short story "Rising with Surtsey", and was later incorporated into the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game. 
==Description==
Othuum is an unknown entity who is theorised to resemble a twisting rope-like monstrosity covered in tentacles with a singular alien face in the middle of a squirming, ropy mass. It has been speculated that the entity may be a servant of Cthulhu, dwelling beneath the waves and striving for his master's return. (: Malleus Monstrorum) 
==In Other Media==
*In the Demonbane series, Othuum is the Great Old One that Kraken, the Deus Machina of the Anticross Caligula, was modeled after. A Deus Machina with the same name appears at the end of Kishin Hishou, summoned by the R'lyeh Text.
