Cthulhus

Cthulhus is a term that appears in speculative fiction, most notably within the cosmic horror mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft. In this context, "Cthulhu" refers to a specific Great Old One, a powerful and ancient alien entity of immense cosmic significance. Cthulhu is depicted as a monstrous, colossal being with a vaguely anthropoid outline, a mass of tentacles around its mouth, and dragon-like wings.

The mythos posits that Cthulhu lies dormant in the sunken city of R'lyeh, deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. While asleep, his psychic influence can affect sensitive human minds, leading to madness, nightmares, and the formation of cults dedicated to his worship. These cults often anticipate his eventual awakening and the subsequent subjugation of humanity. Cthulhu's existence represents a profound indifference of the universe towards humanity, a terrifying truth that can shatter one's sanity.

The concept of "Cthulhus" in the plural typically refers to the species or race of beings to which Cthulhu belongs, or to other entities that share similar characteristics of cosmic horror and immense power within Lovecraft's fictional universe. These beings are often described as alien, unknowable, and immensely powerful, existing outside of normal human understanding of physics and biology. Their presence is often associated with dread, madness, and the insignificance of mortal existence.
