Description
Century X2 - The Demon TrinityThe Demon Trinity was a a group of three fierce, blood-thirsty (Outer) entities, Cthulhu and Idhya'a's spawn, worshipped as deities in the lost continent of Mu. As the "forgotten land" sank somewhere in the Pacific, so did their wicked cult and their macabre idols sealed beneath the oceanic floor. Many similarities with Hesiod's "Theogony" and ancient Greek Titanomachy's leitmotiv are evident and common to several Indoeuropean and non Indoeuropean civilizations.
Two of these three "Demon-Gods" have been freed by summoning of a Cthulhu worshippers' sect: Ythogtha and Zoth-Ommog. Cthylla replaced the firstborn in the pagan Trinity. Brief (not-so-brief) description:
Ghatanothoa (not featuring here)
Said to be the firstborn of Cthulhu, Ghatanothoa is fabled to have such a horrid appearance to cause a viewer's skin to become rock-hard as the Gorgons did in Classical Greek mythology. He was considered the main deity in Mu lost continent's pantheon and the most feared, until the destruction of Mu entombed him and his fearsome cult. Ghatanothoa's fall incited Cthulhu to re-establish the Demon Trinity mating with Idhya'a which bore him a daughter, Cthylla. Nonetheless either she or his brothers are willing to free Ghatanothoa from his remote deungeon, because they mean to actively exploit Human resource rather simply subdue it.
Cthylla (the six-eyed lady)
Cthylla is the only female child of Cthulhu and Idhya'a, of which both are extremely proud. Cthylla's true form is that of an octopoid flying being with six eyes with extremely malevolent glare. As summoned by an occult sect of Cthulhu's worshippers she has taken the body of a sinuous lady with long dark green hairlock and four, red eyes on a corpse-pale porcelain face (plus an additional pair of rudimental eyes on her cheeks).
Cold calculator with dominatrix attitude and sadistic tastes, she is a fearful ESPer, able to browse her victims' minds, explore them their darkest depths and free their most wicked thoughts. Her siblings envy her skills but do not dare contrast her, because she is more terrific than the Devil.
Cthylla replaces Ghatanothoa in the Demon Trinity and plays the most important role in the project of Cthulhu's ultimate awakening.
Ythogtha, "Mr. Y.T" or "Shaurash-Ho" (The cylops-one)
Ythogtha is the second son of Cthulhu and resembles a gigantic, cyclops-like frog with a mop of squirming tentacles on his head. The Elder Gods imprisoned Ythogtha in the Abyss of Yhe where he was served by the Yuggs, the planarian folk. As Ythogtha has been freed from his "Tartarus", he has taken the form of a rich man named Warren Bryan Hughes or Mr. Y.T., owner of the Hughes Laboratories, a highly advanced bio-engineering factory, quite a futuristic "ooparts" in 1940. There abominable experiments are carried on living victims (mostly Humans), implanting Yuggs spies in spinal fluids, acting as telepathic remote control. After all "Hughes" is a cynical pun hinting there are the hideous Yuggs behind such creepy project.
Zoth-Ommog, "Zoth"
(The punk one)
Zoth-Ommog is the third son of Cthulhu and his true form is that of a cone-shaped body marine creeper with four broad starfish-like arms with suckers. As his brother Ythogtha, Zoth-Ommog was imprisoned by the Elder Gods beneath the Ponape seabed, near R'lyeh, and even there so has he been served for long time by the planarian folk.
As Ythogtha has been freed, so had his brother which chose to take the form of a youngster with rooster-like mohawk and four arms, each one with grotesque toothed orifices in the middle of the palm.
Simply named Zoth, he works together his brother Ythogtha in development of Hughes Project. Nonetheless he is not as devilishly clever as his siblings, indeed he is exploiting the abominable results of Hughes Project for his personal purpose: to seek (and enslave) the ideal mate of his. He is devotely served by Turbella, the daughter of Ubb (the Lord of Yuggs) which has taken the body of an American girl and loves him in excessive way (more about this character details soon).

have you ever read Dino Buzzati's stuff? when he happened to paint, he made for each character a double pair of eyes, 'said it gave the look a sense of vibration. He might have liked Lovecraft, they're both poets in a way.

Sorry for "necro-reply", but dealing with Great Old Ones one must account aeon-long timespans even for an instant chat
You mean the "Santa IngenuitΓ ", don't you?Β

I didn't know actually. That's what I call a "convergent" inspiration (like convergent evolution...). On the other hand I do know well of Buzzati's tales, which have more surreal than praeternatural topic. The Babau's painting and accompanying short story of his has been cited in some horror novels in Italy and may have some space in the custom Cthulhu Mythos of mine too.
Same "leitmotiv" in "Il Gran Colombre" (which has nearly a Cthulhu Mythos background) and "Eura":

Which sounds like Euro, alluding that the European currency is a twisted thing? Not that wrong...

Yes, I know Buzzati's stories and paintings. The young girl with four eyes reminds so much my own "humanoid" Cthylla, you know. A nice coincidence.
I am indeed planning to merge something of Buzzati in my own Cthulhu Mythos. His own "Babau" is such an eldritch entity.

This is a preternatural laser. Also, the portals made by the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Originator Device are proven to cause dark matter based lifeforms-including Great Old Ones-to implode & die without anything going wrong for anything else.

Well, this does not work at least in 1940, even if dystopic and uchronic.
The comics' protagonists have more "grimoire-related" weapons and skills. However some kind of bizarre technology is employed too.
And it's nice so have you guessed the Great Old Ones are made of Dark Matter...

I still have the gadgets because 1 of my closest female friends is a Yithian, the Great Species (I refuse to use the word "race" as a synonym for "species") who brought the gadgets in from the 90s.

The ideal mafia gang for sure....the Corleonese are a flock of goats nearby them! Specially Cthylla, finding the deepest and darkest corners of mind... there is no conceivable defense against this ^^ Aw, so Hughes is part of the story, uhn? I know, is not the good oleΒ΄ Hughes, but anyways is interesting ^^ As interesting as learn that the punbk one has a love affair....

Indeed. Whereas Ythogtha has got a numerous offspring with a Japanese Great Old One (I mean Yogash the Ghoul and others til Ghoth the Burrower), Zoth has had no "liason" from Triassic time up to today, until he saw Trh'blla...
Cthylla has got instead to bear her father again and she seem enjoy this...
Just twisted minds...

Thank you for the feedback. They actually refer to Howard Philips Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, so they have a literature background. And yes, they're gonna feature in a comics book

Instead they are hideous merciless creepers. With devilish fashion though.
Evil uses to be tempting after all.
