There is no Cthulu because Cthulu is not a myth. Cthulu is a god of chaos and destruction. Ia! Ia! Cthulu Fataghn!

Same for Yog Sothoth, Yig, Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, Shub Niggurath, and Dagon.

"I can't believe there s no Cthulu!!!!"
Cthulu was made up by H.P. Lovecraft, a horror/fiction writer. The first Cthulu story appeared in a horror/science fiction magazine around WWI. If you look it up i'm sure you will find all this information. However epic Cthulu can be, ultimately he did not spawn from a belief system but from a short story; and as such is about as mythology related as the character harry potter (how ever much un-epic harry is)

BUT...Cthulu was inspired by other mythological creatures (which are based on ancient beliefs) and fictional creatures (which like Cthulu are not "real"<<<please note the quotations)

Dagon is the name of a real god, one of ancient origins, but he was real. Many people use ancient deities names for fictional ones, Warhammer did it with Nergal.
