H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

It's like I can audibly hear the artist saying to himself "You know what, let's just capitalize the LOL to be safe"

It goes full on necro lolicon! Jesus Christ!

To be fair, these are definitely the "eat your children" kind of creatures.

I thought this was a funny pun, unfortunate name implications aside.

So what do you imagine the Great Old Ones joke about?

"Why the Night-gaunt cross the barriers of reality?"
