'''Cthulhu''' (pronounced "Khlûl'hloo" or "Kathooloo") (Other spellings: Kutulu, Ktulu, Cthulu, Kthulhut, Thu Thu, Tulu) is a fictional Pre-Judeo-Christian deity/demon variously described as a "sleeping" or "dreaming" in the works of [[H. P. Lovecraft]]. Cthulhu sleeps in the sunken city of R'lyeh and when the stars are right, will reawaken ushering in the destruction of humanity.

As of 2005 some correlation has been proposed<ref>Kepler and Yard ''Lovecraft and Christianity: a hidden message?'' (2005)</ref> between the symbology of the mythos and both the Christian devil [[Satan]] and [[creation science]] in Christianity: in the stories the being Cthulhu corrupts creatures from God and turns their worship inward, on their own bodies, with horrific results<ref>H. P. Lovecraft ''The Shadow over Innsmouth'' (1941)</ref>; furthermore, many of the tales in the mythos feature the triumph of the supernatural over established science<ref>H. P. Lovecraft ''At the Mountains of Madness'', ''The Dream Quest for Unknown Kadath'' (various).</ref>. It should be recognized, however, that Lovecraft was an virulent atheist and that the symbology is likely coincidental.
