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.

That's HUGE, which begs the question would those guys even know what they were looking at from that angle?

I'm pretty sure they they wouldn't need to see the whole thing to get an idea.

That's a normal reaction seeing humans.

Can you imagine. Taking a 50 thousand year nap, just to wake up and find your house invaded by pests crawling all over the floor. Ofc you would be upset.
