Save Cthulhu (Lovecraft Mythos Humor)

F.A.Q.

Are you serious?

I have never been more serious in my life (which is not saying much).

Do you care the fate of all mankind rests upon you?

No, not really. If YOU care then you have a choice... save Cthulhu!

How could you be so cruel?

Lucky I guess.

Who is Cthulhu?

Cthulhu is the high priest of the Great Old Ones, a race of alien beings who ruled the Earth long before the rise of humanity and which some beings worshipped as gods. It is said that They will return

...and the secret priests would take Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth. The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild, and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom. (Call of Cthulhu)

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is debatable but madness is a common factor when dealing with Cthulhu

How do you pronounce Cthulhu?

According to HP ovecraft, a profit of the Old Ones, "The actual sound - as nearly as human organs could imitate it or human letters record it - may be taken as something like Khlul'-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly."

"The best approximation one can make is to grunt, bark, or cough the imperfectly formed syllables Cluh-Luh with the tip of the tongue firmly affixed to the roof of the mouth. That is, if one is a human being. Directions for other entities are naturally different."

Personally I pronounce it kuh-THOO-lhoo. I have also heard kuh-THOOL-hoo. As mere humans this is good enough and he seems to answer to it.

How can I learn more about Cthulhu?

Best place to start is with this book or this book. (both highly recommended!)

What can I do to help or hinder your twisted plan?

YOU have a choice... YOU can make a difference.... save Cthulhu!

How can I get my own Cthulhu?

Well I obviously have the REAL one but ToyVault.com makes a plush replica which looks eerily like him, as you can see from the photos.

Who is responsible for this atrocity of a website?

The concept and site was designed by John Coughlin.

The logos and photos handled by the lovely and talented Syrenichol.

Why did you create this site?

I like to humor myself.
