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.

Much in the same way you can't crush fine powder, you can't turn insane that which has already been robbed of sanity. Cuthulu is nothing compared to the Eldrich being known as "The Int'erneht" which has enslaved most of mankind.
