Etymology The species is named after the fictional cosmic entity Cthulhu, created by the American writer of horror fiction H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) and firstly introduced in the short story “The Call of Cthulhu,” published in 1928. Considered a Great Old One within the pantheon of Lovecraftian cosmic entities, Cthulhu is a gigantic being of great power described as looking like an octopus or a dragon that lies in a death-like torpor in the sunken city of R’lyeh.
