Cthulhu

 

This is one of the most fearsome cosmic beings named Cthulhu. A creation by the author H. P. Lovecraft, introduced in a story "The Call of Cthulhu" published in Weird Tales magazine in 1928. There are many such cosmic entities by Lovecraft and Cthulhu is called The Great Old One. Born on the planet Vhoorl, found at the 23rd nebula, Cthulhu went to the star Zoth and gave forth children, the Star Spawn of Cthulhu. He went to Saturn, then he landed on Earth where he created the city R'lyeh on land in the Pacific Ocean. Deities from Earth called Elder Things disapproved, and waged a war against the alien Cthulhu, until finally both came to an agreement. Cthulhu entered the alienlike city of R'lyeh and fell into the deep long sleep, but he was able to communicate with humans in dreams. A doomsday cult of Cthulhu appeared, full of worshippers of the cosmic monster. R'lyeh was destroyed, making it disintegrate and sink into the sea. Cthulhu continued to sleep in the sunken city at the bottom of the ocean and it was believed Cthulhu would wake up and return.   

There's a following of Cthulhu that worship this creature, which is described as immortal and gigantic with features of a dragon and an octopus.  This entity among other similar cosmic monsters once ruled the solar system but have been under a long spell sleep. Such beings filled the readership with all kinds of dread including nightmares, paranoia and psychosis. Cthulhu has become almost mythical in modern times, as the character inspires emotions, imagination and even dark ideas that make some people feel differently towards life. The ultimate monster that comes from horror sci-fi fiction although seems to fill everyone with awe and terror. It could be because generally people fear the unknown. Also humans have been led to think they're the centre of the universe but Cthulhu reminds them that they're small and insignificant.
