Used by cultists who seek to raise the long-forgotten god Great Cthulhu from where he lies in uneasy slumber, the Idol of Cthulhu is recreated here in all its eldritch dread. The idol has fed humanity’s fearful imaginings since the dawn of time and serves as a focus for dark powers wherever it manifests.
Created by Type40 artist Simon Lissaman, the Idol of Cthulhu references the namesake of Chaosium’s iconic roleplaying game of horror, mystery, and investigation, Call of Cthulhu.
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.
In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.”
— “The Call of Cthulhu” (1926)
