Cthulhu
A character in Lovecraft's tale "The Call of Cthulhu". Cthulhu is a monstrous entity who lies "dead but dreaming" in the city of R'lyeh, a place of non-Euclidean madness presently (and mercifully) sunken below the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Cthulhu appears in various monstrous and demonic forms in early myths of the human race. Racial memory preserves Him as humanity's most basic nightmare. Cthulhu is the high priest of the Great Old Ones, unnatural alien beings who ruled the Earth before humanity formed, worshipped as gods by some misguided people. It is said that They will return, causing worldwide insanity and mindless violence before finally displacing humanity forever.
"That bitch had some Cthulhu eyes."
Cthulhu
High priest of the great "Old Ones," alien super-beings who came to earth many millions of years ago during the Paleozoic era that were eventually worshiped as gods by the johnny come lately human race.
His name is unpronounceable by human mouths.
A rough description of Cthulhu goes as:
A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings ... It represented a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind. This thing, which seemed instinct with a fearsome and unnatural malignancy, was of a somewhat bloated corpulence ...

Cthulhu (commonly preceeded by "Great" or Old" is a monstrous being belonging to a group of entities known simply as the "Old Ones" which ruled over the Earth and allegedly warred with the Elder Things before the time of man. Great Cthulhu currently remains imprisoned in the great cyclopean, sunken city of R'lyeh (assumed to be near Valparaiso) in a death-like state awaiting the day the stars are right, when he will resume his glorious rule of earth in an orgy of destruction.
While psychicly sensitive humans have been contacted by Cthulhu through telepathy (which is assumed to be the "language" of the Old Ones), the only reported sighting by a human in recorded history occured on March 23, 1925. This was twenty-two days after R'lyeh rose above the water, only to sink once more shortly after when the merciful stars' shifting position caused Cthulhu to resume his death (the conditions required for R'lyeh to rise are also required for the Old Ones to live). This was reported by Gusaf Johansen, the only remaining crew member of the Emma. He later died under mysterious circumstances in his hometown of Oslo.
Cthulhu is described as resembling a green humanoid with draconian wings, and a head resembling an octopus (though it is believed Cthulhu is not composed of matter. While it is a common misconception that Cthulhu is evil, it is worth noting that he/it appears to be amoral, viewing humans as pests (akin to human views and actions with insects).

Cthulhu
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.
