Cthulhu language
The piece upon which Anton Zarnak’s attention was fixed seemed to have been hewn from jadeite. It was about eleven inches tall, and depicted a bipedal monstrosity whose hind legs resembled those of a batrachian, with forelimbs uplifted almost as if in menace, sucker-tipped, webbed hands extended towards the viewer. The head of the image was a seething mass of pseudopods or tentacles, amidst which a single glaring eye could be discerned.

“Ythogtha,”
I stand corrected - Ythogtha it is (still recreate)
The Zanthu Tablets, and read of Great Ythogtha, the Abomination in the Abyss, imprisoned by the Elder Gods in Yhe.

Cthulhu family tree
Dream-Gates where the Night-Gaunts and the Ghouls, and the Ghasts of Zin, wait to welcome me; from thence the great winged Byakhee that serve Hastur in the dark spaces between the stars linger upon my coming, to fly me to the dark star amidst the Hyades, to Carcosa beside the cloudy shores of Lake Hali, to the very foot of the Elder Throne where the King in Yellow—even He, Yhtill the Timeless One—will receive my Vow,
