Cthugha
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
In the fictional Cthulhu Mythos stories, Cthugha is a godlike alien being, one of the many Great Old Ones. Cthugha is a creation of August Derleth and first appeared in his story The House on Curwen Street.
Cthugha resembles a giant ball of fire. He is served by the race of Fire Vampires, led by its possible progeny and regent Fthaggua. Its known progeny include Aphoom-Zhah. In August Derleth's short story The Dweller in Darkness, the main characters attempt to summon Cthugha to drive an avatar of Nyarlathotep out of a forest in Canada.
If a summoning of Cthugha is improperly done, one may unintentionally summon Yomagn'tho.
