Cthulhu Mythos

Created using Google Images, Windows Movie Maker and a little magic grnated to me by Nyarlathotep.
The music used is 'Devils...Monsters...' from the Halo Soundtrack, by the way, I do not own the copyright to, it all belongs to Bungie and Martin O'Donnell, the pictures belonging to the diseased minds of the artists. Cthulhu fhtagn!
All pictutes were found on Google Images.
The guy at the end in H.P. Lovecraft, creator of the Mythos, just for anyone who doesn't know.

In Call of Cthulhu, the city of R'lyeh (Cthulhu's tomb) rises above the waves for a few days and Cthulhu himself emerges for a mere 15 minutes. In that time, countless people went mad, killed themselves, cults came of the woodwork and pretty much everyone on Earth suffered unspeakable nightmares. He was only driven back under by getting a steamship rammed into his face because he had only woken up. The worst thing? He's not even the most powerful of the Mythos.

@pantherhuntR

Mythos is a word usually used to describe a set of stories, characters and worlds and can be applied to anything, really. The Cthulhu Mythos (a term coined by Lovecraft's controversial successor August Derleth) is made up of his various alien races (like the Elder Things and Mi-Go), gods (like Cthulhu and Yog-Sototh), human characters (like Randolph Carter and Richard Pickman) and locations (like Arkham and Innsmouth). People tend to just call it the Mythos, though.

@binarynightmare Ok this is all new to me umm is there a book i can read or something?

[binarynightmare]

@pantherhuntR

No real books, as in novels (save for maybe 2), but there are a good few short stories.

@pantherhuntR

No offense taken! I love telling about the Mythos.

Cthulhu came from somehwere out in sapce - possibly from another dimension. His (well, It really) origin is never really explored in the stories. All we know is that Cthulhu is ridiculously ancient and far more powerful than any mortal entity. The Elder Things just about managed to lock him in R'lyeh as it sunk beneath the ocean by using their science/magic, but could never kill him.

@binarynightmare Ok no offense but since you seem to know alot about Cthulu where did he come from.

[binarynightmare]

@pantherhuntR

There's nothing wrong with that! I'm just saying you can't really go up against Cthulhu and win. Either you ram a steamer into his face while R'lyeh is still on manual and you get killed by his cultists later on, or you go completely insane there and then - or get killed.

[pantherhuntR]

@binarynightmare It was just an idea.

@pantherhuntR

I have absolutely no idea who that is, but I can tell you right here and now that he/she shall lose pitifully. A human (right?) even with some kind of occult superpower, can still only barely escape with their sanity intacy from the mountainous bulk of alien flesh, squirming and reaching tentacles, flabby claws and soul-searing, mind-sahttering form of Cthulhu. Strictly speaking, you can't actually kill this thing, let alone get near it without going insane.
