Biology[]
Cthulhu is but one specimen of an entire race whose nature is far beyond the comprehension of us lowly humans, Cthulhu himself however is often depicted as a draconic humanoid with a head resembling an octopus. His lineage comes from a line of wildly diverse beings known as the "Great Old Ones", with his own offspring being known as the "Spawn of Cthulhu" or "Cthulhi" according to later writers.
