>>632023In the Cthulu mythos, eldrich monsters are more than just giant squid creatures. They are godlike beings that exist in other horrifying dimensions. Some of the more powerful ones are literal gods that are beyond human understanding. According to the mythos, our entire universe is just a dream of Azathoth, and should he awaken we will all blink out of existence.
Cthulu by comparison is just a lower-level offspring of the more powerful eldrich abominations.
