Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your host, Rebecca Felgate and today I am talking about the Top 10 Scary Cthulhu
facts.
So, Cthulhu has been a big player over on our channel Life’s Biggest Questions.
We talk about Cthulhu A LOT.
If you don’t know what Cthulhu is – it is a godlike creature created by author H.P
Lovecraft.
The rest….
Well you are about to find out.
Before we get into the video I want to ask you guys to tell me what Monster you find
the scariest!
I am all ears in the comments section down below.
Also please do check out our channel Life’s Biggest Questions if you are in the business
for more Cthulhu content.
Like, share.
Cthulhu is supposed to be pronounce Khlûl′-hlo … but that sounds a bit like I am being
sick.
The name comes up a lot ….so forgive me for sticking with Cthulhu.
Okay coming in to number 10, we have its horrifying appearance.
Cthulhu is described as being part dragon, part octopus, part squid.
There is particularly a lot going on around the mouth.
The creature is also said to be hundreds of metres tall…so… you know.. big.
In the Call of the Cthulu, lovecraft describes him as A monster of vaguely anthropoid outline,
but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking
body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind.
Wings.
Cool.
Great.
So he can swim and fly.
Gotcha.
What are all those face tentacles for….
Case and point at number 9, Looking at it will send you insane
I say it, because Cthulhu is generless…which for us humans is somewhat difficult to comprehend.
More difficult still is understanding the way the creature looks.
Indeed it is said that looking at the monster for too long will drive you mad.
It isn’t even looking at the beast itself….
Looking at a picture of it will send you mad, too.
That isn’t the only way Cthulhu can affect your brain – coming into number 8 we have
Mind Control Cthulhu is said to be able to contact the
minds of insane people, or extremely creative people.
Rational and mundane minds cannot understand the presence of the beast.
The minds it can reach, though, are susceptible to control.
This means that even though Cthulhu is said to be sleeping, dormant for the moment in
the ocean, he can still access earth through the minds of other who could do his bidding
on earth.
But what is his bidding….what does he want.
Good Question.
Coming in to number 7 we have total destruction.
It seems that Cthulhu is part of a gang….
The Elder Gods – a band of cosmic good and cosmic evil … At the moment Cthulhu is dormant,
but it is said that it is waiting to rise up and seize control of the earth.
Honestly, I feel like earth isn’t big enough for the Elder Gods… they sound pretty big!
Maybe they should eject out of here and hit up a bigger planet, like Jupiter.
Sooo what does happen when they rise?
What then?
Welllllll….you might not want to know at number 6
We have kill the humans.
So the Elder Gods, including Cthulhu want to destroy the Human Race so they can rule
the planet.
Fun.
They foresee a time that the Cthulhu will rise up and rule.
In this process, humans will abandon concepts of civilization and humanity.
We will become cruel and base and we will return to a primitive state.
Oh, and there is nothing we mere morals can do about it.
So why is the significance of human life on a list of scary facts about Cthulhu?
WELL because we’re insignificant, that is why.
To the Cthulhu we are nothing more than ants.
The scariest thing about Cthulu and the Elder Gods is that we can’t call it evil, it doesn’t
want to destroy us because of malice, but because it simply doesn’t care about our
lives and we’re in its way.
Think about what you or your family do when you see an ant in your house or an ants nest
in your garden.
You don’t care, do you.
You kill them and then never think about them again.
I wonder if to ants, humans are the Cthulhu.
So, where is this beast then?
Coming in to number 5 we have – The South Pacific.
That is right, the Cthulhu is said to be out there waiting in the South Pacific Ocean.
The story goes that Cthulhu got trapped in a stone beneath the ocean in the lost city
of R’lyeh.
Where is this?
We don’t know exactly but it could be near New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, the Fawklands.
Ever wondered why there isn’t so much land in the South Pacific?
Could it be the Cthulhu’s influence?
How do we know it is there, well at number 4 we have It has been heard snoring !
In 1997, Nasa recorded a bloop in the Earth’s Pacific ocean.
A bloop is a very loud and unusual sound of unknown origin picked up by deep sea microphones.
The bloop in question was heard several times and was placed off the southern coast of South
America and audible 5,000 kilometres away…which means it is really, really loud!
Whales are nowhere near large enough to generate these sounds.
Here is an image of the sound waves….
From the sounds, many people have suspected that there is more to the oceans than we think
and that perhaps there is life deep down there we are yet to discover….life like a Cthulhu
… maybe!
Others say it is simply the sound of an iceberg calving or glacial movements.
As of yet, we just don’t know.
Interesting, though, that the sound came from a place the so called mythical creature is
resting.
Have a listen and tell me what you think.
Not only has it been heard, at number 3 - It has been seen.
In July 2017 the Cthulhu was allegedly spotted in the distance off the coast of Vancouver
in Canada/ Although this isn’t the South Pacific, it is the North Pacific…so maybe
old Cthulhu woke up for a little jaunt.
A video of scary cloud formations over the water was uploaded to youtube by Hollwood
Scotty and viewed over 1.7 million times.
Have a look.
Is that the Cthulhu’s wings?
Maybe it is the time of the Cthulhu’s coming.
A tentacled creature was spotted in the clouds over a US highway….ARGH!
2 - There is a Cthulhu religion Yes, there is…and the Cult of Cthulhu that
is trying to summon it forth to bring about the end of the world and give them immortality.
Nice one.
I believe they call themselves the First Church of Cthulhu and here Is a high priest giving
a religious gesture – a chin tentacle salute.
While it might be hard to take this one seriously, you bet the participates of the sect take
it seriously!
The First United Church of Cthulhu is a legally registered nonprofit religious organization
in Arizona, should you wish to join.
They recently put a call out for new members, saying you can get a certificate of ordination
from them.
They also preside over Lovecraftian weddings.
I guess this is more of a scary fact about humans!
So we have learned a lot about Cthulhu…and like…sure…
it is scary in a kind of Slenderman, Lochness monster kind of way….in a this isn’t really
happening kind of way, but, like….
Our number one fact does truly terrify me….. 1 - There is a Cthulu Spider…
Mmmhmmm….and he looks terrifying.
Say hello to Primoa Cthulhu.
LOOK AT IT!!!!!!!!!!
The reason the spider was given this name was because of its distinctive back markings….
They look like the face of Cthulhu…
OH BUT THAT ISNT ALL!
There is also a moth named after the Cthulhu – the Speiredonia Cthulhui…..I don’t
like a moth.
Maybe Cthulhu is communicating with all the moths and spiders and one day they will rise
up and get us.
Maybe.
Okay so that was the Top 10 Scary Cthulhu Facts that will haunt you!
