The spawn of the Great Old Ones on mankind, range from man's fairest image to THAT which is them. "The Dunwich Horror" was a pivotal tale in the mythos.

I was mostly talking about him being invisible for most of his 'appearance' in the story. Except when that magic powder was used on it.

i know
he is a twin of wilbur only a lot bigger
so strictly speaking we did see him in a way

The twin does take after his father a bit more than that, what with being egg shaped and all, though old Yoggy, in thanks to being an infinite amount of spheres, well he is a lot more rounded.... That was a terrible pun.

I prefer my Gods to be undying non-euclidean eldritch abominations from beyond the veil of time and space to whom morality as we know it has no meaning and see humans as tiny ants beneath their notice, but death, chaos, destruction, oblivion, and entropy are always fun.

i see my gods as universal constants utterly devoid of any sort of mortal concept such as morality or good and evil
and see mortals as inconsequential gnats as best ( entropy ) or as means to an end for her own amusement ( chaos ) which cant end well for humanity
chaos is the most "playfull" of my gods
and with playfull i mean destroy an entire galaxy for her own "amusement" nobody can fathom other then her being chaos

Yes, but they aren't tentacled non-euclidean eldritch abominations from beyond the veil of time and space whose thought methods are alien to the extreme. Also your example of being beyond the concept of good and evil isn't exactly what I meant, I mean if your Gods feel amusement at all, and have traits we consider playful, then that isn't beyond the concepts of good and evil, at least not by my definition.
The Outer Gods and Great Old Ones seem malicious, but they're simply so far beyond human comprehension that our concepts of good and evil cannot be applied to them. Great Old Ones and Outer Gods don't think humans are ants, they just don't notice us. They don't 'think' in the conventional sense, except maybe for Nyarlathotep. They just do things. They don't even seem to communicate. They are apathetic to everything. Death is beyond them. They cannot die, excepting of course the awakening of Azathoth, so they don't really care. They are like an earthquake, or a hurricane. They are big lumbering things that do whatever for no reason we can understand. There might not even be a reason.
For example, why does Cthulhu destroy humanity? The answer is because they are in the way, he doesn't mean to, but at the same time he doesn't care if he does. They are just there, and they are too inconsequential to stop him from rising to do whatever it is Cthulhu must do. They just do things, and they do it for a reason, but whatever that reason is, we cannot know because we cannot understand anymore than a bacteria can understand why we try to eliminate it. These beings have a moral framework that is so utterly alien and foreign to human experience that we can't peg them as "good" or "evil" . Our and their understanding of "law" as a concept is not even equivalent.
The closest thing to 'human' among their pantheon is Nyarlathotep, but he to has a reason for what he does. His amusement being one, but he's the metaphysical manifestation, personification, and embodiment of the soul, will, and minds of all Outer Gods and Great Old Ones. He tend to be of a contradictory sort as a result.

oh i know i have had ......14 years to develop these characters
even the "youngest"of them is 10 years old
they do what they do because they are forces of nature they are universal constant and mortal dont even come in to their consideration for any of their actions
only death and chaos have any sort of connection to mortals
and the reason death has a connection is uh rather obvious i would say
chaos is the only one that seems to be interested in mortals but thats because she is chaos
chaos is unpredictable impulsive and insane she wouldnt be chaos otherwise
a barrel of contradictions
but just because she is moderatley interested in mortals doesnt mean her motivations are so beyond us i can explain them
they just are
i tend to see my god characters as the forces that make the universe work
the hows and the why's are beyond the capabilities of mortals to grasp they are what they are and do what they must do
in other words i think we are on the sam eline here we just word it differently
