Cthulhu (Chaosflo)

1(This is cthCthulhu the myht) gantuan size of the creature, which is compared to a walking mountain. The seaman describes Cthulhu as a "gelatinous green immensity", with "flabby claws" and a "squid-head with writhing feelers". Johansen's phrase "a mountain walked or stumbled" gives a sense of the monster's scale. This is corroborated by Wilcox's dreams, which "touched wildly on a gigantic thing 'miles high' which walked or lumbered about". (HPL: "The Call of Cthulhu")Johansen recounts that two of his companions died of sheer fright as they saw it, while three more "were swept up by the flabby claws" of the monster. As the others tried to escape, a man named Parker "was swallowed up by an angle of masonry which shouldn’t have been there", part of the mysterious alien geometry of R'lyeh. William Briden, who managed to reach the ship, lost his sanity as he saw the massive creature swimming after them in pursuit and "kept on laughing at intervals till death found him one night in the cabin". (HPL: "The Call of Cthulhu")
In the stories of August Derleth, Cthulhu's physical appearance is portrayed somewhat differently. Derleth's Cthulhu is far more protoplasmic than most other depictions, a shapeshifting mass with myriads of tentacles sprouting from its body, and a single eye on its face. (AWD: "Something in Wood", "The Black Island")
In the Titus Crow series by Brian Lumley, it is suggested that the creature encountered by Johansen was not actually Cthulhu, but merely one of his Star-Spawn, thus implying that the actual Cthulhu would be even more formidable and difficult to escape from. (but that the Picture is from Chaosflo44) and his goal to get much entropy to get free to unite hell with the human world
