ia! ia! Cthulhu fthagn! (Now with added skulls)

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.

Inspired by two links in CraftMagazine, I resolved to create a small compendium of doom and evil reincarnated.
Unfortunately, this turned out to be a bit more easy than I initially predicted (that is to say, INFORMATION OVERLOAD! TOO MANY THINGS! AIII!), so I limit this post to two themes - skulls and Lord Cthulhu. Skulls are actually becoming a little too clichéd, so I shall keep them to a minimum and focus on Cthulhu, who will never be out of fashion! In fact, it seems he’s running for president, has his own malfunctioning but surely evil search engine, “Cthuugle”, and line of perfume! The description is refreshing, if not something I would be caught wearing: “A creeping, wet, slithering scent, dripping with seaweed, oceanic plants and dark, unfathomable waters.”

Now, in case you find yourself wondering who the F’htagn Cthulhu is, have a quick read over at Wikipedia (The Call of Cthulhu), or alternately, the very strange Uncyclopedia Unquotable.

Meanwhile.. let’s start with the skulls. If piles of skulls don’t get you in the mood for the destroyer of the world and devourer of souls, I don’t know what will.
