Cthulhu

Cthulhu is a Great Old One, one of the most notable and symbolic characters of the Lovecraft's universe. Cthulhu was first introduced in the short story "The Call of Cthulhu", published in the American pulp magazine "Weird Tales" in 1928, and has since been featured in numerous popular culture references. Its name was given to the Lovecraft-inspired universe, the Cthulhu Mythos.
Lovecraft depicts Cthulhu as a gigantic monster hundreds of meters tall, with the head of an octopus, claws and dragon-like wings. He lies in a death-like slumber beneath the Pacific Ocean in his sunken city of R'lyeh.
