The bizarre deities and freakish monsters of H.P.Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos are frequently known by many names. On this site you can look up the ingenious alternate names for Deities, Monsters and forbidden knowledge that folks have submitted. You can vote on which you like most. Best of all, you can submit your own!

Alternate names shown here come from Lovecraft's writings, the works of other authors in the Cthulhu Mythos tradition (eg Clark Ashton Smith, Ramsay Campbell and Brian Lumley), from Roleplaying texts and from the wild imaginations of visitors to the site.

If you know of yet another name for Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, or any of their buddies, something mentioned in an obscure horror story, comic book, roleplaying supplement or even if you've just come up with a cool variation of your own - enter it here to help build an all-inclusive list of strange names from the Cthulhu Mythos.

The Deities, Monsters and especially the Mythos Magics listed here refer to the Call Of Cthulhu: Horror Roleplaying System.

Thanks!
