A entity for H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu" who also appears in several later stories, though CC is the only one that focuses on him. Cthulhu is a extraterrestrial being referred to as "Great Old Ones" and is generally associated with madness. It is said to have "yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature.... A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque scaly body with rudimentary wings." While no specifics of it's height have been given, in the Climax of Call of Cthulhu, when some sailors stumble upon the formerly-sunken city of R'lyeh, the city in which Cthulhu is said to be sealed, they accidentally release the monster, and one said it was "A mountain that walks or stumbles", implying it's enormous height.
For some reason, Cthulhu along with the other Great Old Ones have been sealed away, and is said that Cthulhu one day will awaken and release the Great Old Ones and they will resume the rule of Earth, and there will be a "Holocaust of freedom and ecstasy". the Great Old Ones telepathically talked with the earliest humans, and started the infamous Cult of Cthulhu.
many real life cults have been started and can be found on the internet. I'm not sure which scares me more, the Cthulhu cults, or the other religions.

Get the callsign of cthulhu mug.A student group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ran for the sole purpose of extracting serious lulz from the otherwise deadened student populace. The organization is a grotesque parody of the Campus Crusade for Christ but does reflect the cult-like following the works of Lovecraft et al. have garnered at MIT. Various activities include Sunday readings from the Necronomicon, the BBQ goat sacrifice during Campus Preview Weekend and Rush, and idol crafting circles. Their goal is to ensure they are eaten last when Cthulhu devours the world...so they can watch everyone else's suffering.
Student 1: "Hey, you gonna join CCC?"
