zslane Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Wow, those are all amazing! I just wish the human reference silhouette was on all of them. Trencher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eepjr24 Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I don't think the fiction supports having a scale for all of them. Some of them are never compared to anything and thus very difficult to scale. I would imagine that Zoth-Ommog is quite large as it's description includes a comparison to dinosaurs, but no explicit size is given that I know of. - E Trencher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Some are man sized. It is a good resource but I liked some of the art that has been previously done for Nyarlathotep and Cthulhu in particular. Trencher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a good resource but I liked some of the art that has been previously done for Nyarlathotep and Cthulhu in particular. Sure. But at least one of Cthulhu's progeny was described as "only measurable in a scale of miles". I'm just saying that some are not explicitly given a size, some have a vague inference and some are quite specific. Plus it varies if you only believe certain authors should be canon. - E Trencher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Nyarlathotep can take pretty much any form he wants, so any drawing of him is going to challenge the notion of canonicity in any case. One thing I find bemusing is that in the board game Arkham Horror, you will often find your investigators fighting dholes, which given their size is absurd. But hey, it's just a dumb board game, right? Trencher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archer Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I assume every Lovecraftian horror is larger than a football stadium until shown to be otherwise. Trencher, zslane and tkdguy 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Apparently the octopus is from outer space according to a team of 33 researchers published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/octopus-aliens-scientists-theory-meteors-space-earth-cambrian-explosion-a8358631.html The elder gods really are out there.
