Lovecraft portrays it as a massive entity worshipped by cultists, looking like a green octopus, a dragon, and a cartoon of a human structure. The Lovecraft-inspired universe, the Cthulhu Mythos, where it exists with its fellow entities, is named after it.

Created by Lovecraft in 1928, the name Cthulhu was most likely chosen to repeat the word chthonic (Ancient Greek "of the earth"), as obviously recommended by Lovecraft himself toward the end of his 1923 tale "The Rats in the Walls".The chthonic, or earth-dwelling, spirit has precedents in various ancient and medieval mythologies, frequently protecting mines and valuable underground treasures, eminently in the Germanic dwarfs and the Greek Chalybes, Telchines, or Dactyls.

Lovecraft translated the pronunciation of Cthulhu as Khlul-hloo, and said, "the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly. The 'u' is about like that in 'full', and the principal syllable isn't dissimilar to 'klul' in sound, subsequently the 'h' represents the guttural thickness" yielding something much the same as/χ(ə)ʟʊʟˈluː/.

Lerna was rumored to be an entry to the Underworld, and archaeology has established it as a holy site older than Mycenaean Argos. In the canonical Hydra myth, the beast is killed by Heracles (Hercules) as the second of his Twelve Labors.

As indicated by Hesiod, the Hydra was the offspring of Typhon and Echidna. It had poisonous breath and blood so destructive that even its aroma was deadly. The Hydra had many heads, the specific number of which changes as per the source. Later versions of the Hydra story add a regeneration feature to the beast: for each head cleaved off, the Hydra would regrow two heads. Heracles required the help of his nephew Iolaus to cut off all of the monster's heads and burn the neck using a sword and fire.
