Description This is not Cthulhu himself, but a representation of one of his kindred. Sometimes referred to as "Star Spawn," they are more or less described as an octopus-like race which descended from the stars.

"Another race - a land race of beings shaped like octopi and probably corresponding to fabulous prehuman spawn of Cthulhu - soon began filtering down from cosmic infinity and precipitated a -monstrous war which for a time drove the Old Ones wholly back to the sea..."
-H.P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains Of Madness

May I use this for an in-house game? Not going to sell it or anything - just seems cool for our little household card game thing.

Great star-spawn. I like the original interpretation with the legs. It has a cool, almost insectoid look to it.

Very, very good. I always pictured the Star Spwan more human though.

So glad you did this. It's practically impossible to find a good picture of the Star Spawn.

This one came together quite nicely with the addition of the background and atmosphere about the stone spires. I like how the wet highlights are almost star-like and make him look more 'of' the stars than just 'from' the stars.
