Cthulhu is a fictional cosmic entity created by author H. P. Lovecraft. It was introduced in his short story "The Call of Cthulhu",published in 1928 by American pulp magazine Weird Tales. Cthuhlu is categorized as a Great Old One within the pantheon of Lovecraftian cosmic entities. Lovecraft depicts Cthuhlu as a gigantic entity worshipped by cultists, in the shape of a colossal green octopus, dragon, and a caricature of human form.

It has since been featured in numerous 'cosmic horror' pop culture references, from cinema, to video and tabletop roleplaying games. The Lovecraft-inspired universe, the Cthulhu Mythos, where it exists with its fellow entities, is named after it.
