The Cthulhu Mythos is a fictional universe created by writer H.P. Lovecraft, featuring ancient, supernatural entities beyond human understanding. Central to these stories is Cthulhu, a colossal, tentacled creature buried beneath the sea, symbolizing cosmic horror—the idea that the universe is vast, indifferent, and inhabited by beings far more powerful and alien than humans. The mythos explores themes of forbidden knowledge, insignificance in the face of cosmic forces, and the fragility of sanity when confronted with such truths. It has influenced countless horror stories, games, and pop culture, emphasizing the unknowable nature of the universe.
