man, everyone always brings up the dang boat.

1. It was an avatar, not his true form.

2. Said avatar was brought about by a failed ritual, so even as a vessel of Cthulhu it was weakened.

3. The boat didn't even do any real damage, he regenerated.

4. The real Cthulhu is immortal and exists on a higher reality, he merely influences mortals to summon his avatars to enact destruction.

Though he never fights in Lovecraft's stories, so idk if he'd even show himself to Hirudegarn.

1. Nothing was ever truly established that Cthulhu was using an avatar, but it was established that like the rest of The Great Old One’s, Cthulhu is held within the sunken city of R'lyeh, slumbering and dreaming, and through his dreams, he has influenced humans for a very long time. But even if it was a weakened avatar, he still got his head split opened by a boat.

2. If Cthulhu had to regenerate, it clearly did some damage, we know this since the text goes along saying “he is putting himself back together”

3. Every deity is practically immortal, but being immortal does not mean you are invincible or invulnerable, Cthulhu may be the strongest of The Great Old One’s, but he is fodder in comparison to the Outer Gods. Also nothing is ever stated that Cthulhu currently resides in a higher reality, just that he slumbers in R'lyeh.

Well then chthuhlu

^How?

^ yig and queztolact have some simialrites. aside from the feather serpents

1. You have a character outright stating he was quetzacolt prototype in the curse Of yig

"was with the scent of a hound on the trail that I went to Guthrie, for I had spent many years collecting data on the evolution of serpent-worship among the Indians. I had always felt, from well-defined undertones of legend and archaeology, that great Quetzalcoatl—benign snake-god of the Mexicans—had had an older and darker prototype; and during recent months I

2. yig is worshipepd by the plain native american people in the story, Kinda like how similar groups may worship a similar god cause they evolve from the sme source, Like how zeus in real life and odin are cause they descend from some indo european sky god

3. he transforms people to punish them apparently like some of the aztec gods did(into snakes)

4. same ritualistic worshipping, drums etc.

Kinda like How Dagon from cthulu mythos is supposed to be the real life Dagon the mesamoptamians worshipped

regardless, real Cthulhu negs

Nope

The real Cthulhu is under the Pacific Ocean in R'lyeh, slumbering and dreaming.

A big part of the lore of The Call of Cthulhu is that he is in R’lyeh with the other Great Old Ones, who he is the leader of.

So his true self is under the ocean, and in a weakened state, his true self got his head split open by a steamboat.

No avatar.

yes avatar 👍

No proof for said Avatar.
