I’ve seen many refrences to a “Cthulhu” on Da Board. I think he’s some sort of devil, but what is he exactly? Is he an ancient Greek devil who eats people, or what? And how do you pronounce “Cthulhu” anyway? Cith-hool-hoo?
Google is your friend:
So is Cecil’s minion Dex.
I’m pretty sure it has to do with that Lovecraft guy or something. I’m sure the other posts are much more helpful.
We could tell you more, but all that have learned have leapt from the bounds of sanity into the dreamlike complexity of madness where fell things fly wingless through the night air and cries of the old ones are heard again.
Plus, we’d have to kill you.
Well, of course it would be a bad idea to tell you exactly how to pronounce His Name, but the closest phonetic spelling is “clulu”.
Just don’t say it more than once…
Well, we wouldn’t actually do it ourselves. No point in wasting a perfectly good sacrifice.
it’s fiction, & the boys are kidding you.
It’s just stuff from a series of horror stories written in the 1930’s. One guy started it, let some of his friends write stories based on it’s concept, & the whole thing just took off.
Fighting Ignorance, people. Teasing it is fun, but still… :rolleyes:
Yes, Bosda is right, but finding people who don’t know about Cthulhu is like finding people who don’t know about Disney.
Cthulhu is a creation of H.P. Lovecraft. He’s one of the Old ones-- big ol’ nasty things that Man Was Not Meant To Know. He’s in the same mythos as the Necronomicon (the deranged propecies of an insane man) and Shoggoth.
BTW, some folks will try to convince you that the Necronomicon is real. They’re loopy, and best dealt with at arm’s length.
Certainly not true, mate! The day I see Cthulhu-related stories on the BBC or in The Sun will certainly be an interesting one…
I’m seeing a great movie coming out of this…
When did YOU stop being any fun? 
Cit-ooo-lou
Like Sulu
Now I think we’ve tempted fate enough…
From this site:
Let’s try that link again.
You don’t pronounce it, you just sneeze it.
Well, if someone resurrects HP Lovecraft or his pal August Derleth…
Yes! A gaggle of teenagers gets jobs wearing costumes at Disneyworld, and while wandering through the Underworld (I’m 90% sure that’s what the subterranean corridors under Disney “amusement” parks are called) they find the secret entrance to Shog-shoggoth’s lair in the Arctic.
I was thinking of something more along the lines of Mickey Mouse with oozing, purple tentacles and a great, ferocious maw of a mouth rampaging across the countryside eating cute, fuzzy bunnies.
Or was that just the way I felt after seeing Pocahontas?
