Description It all started when I was looking at Gresh's helmet and lamenting how useless it was for making anything that wasn't Gresh... and suddenly, I realized there WAS something I could do with it! Building a Lego Cthulhu isn't a novel idea, but I don't think there are many others who did it without using any parts that actually look like tentacles. For the unacquainted, Cthulhu is an unfathomable, godlike being from the books of H.P. Lovecraft, and while it might be a little heretical to assume that its cyclopean, eldritch form can be depicted accurately, I did try to at least keep all the concretely described details from the story. (What are "flabby claws?") You won't find any advanced building techniques here, except possibly the attachment of the tentacles to the face, but I just like how it turned out. Perfect size to menace some minifigs get wiped out by a Lego boat.

Features: all the standard (Inika) articulation points except the head, articulated waist and wings, toes are technically articulated but really? I don't think they should count.
More MOCs on the way!

Nice use of Elek's head and Gresh's mask!

Thanks! Something had to be done with all those awkward green head pieces!

I really like the building concept of "hey, this piece could be used as a _____" and then building around it. The use of the Toa Metru body (At least I think that's what it is)Β and Ehlek's head is really cool. This guy looks awesome!Β

Thank you! That inspires quite a lot of people's designs, from what I've noticed. Yeah, those are the pieces I used.
