Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos

Overview

Filed under register ME-1928-N56/8922; cite `tales-of-the-cthulhu-mythos-cthulhu-s-creatures` in all outbound correspondence.

The dossier for Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos: Cthulhu's Creatures opens with a warning we did not write for ornament: several observers who sought direct contact ceased to file reports in languages the University recognises.

Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos: Cthulhu's Creatures belongs to that class of powers the vulgar call gods and the archive calls liabilities — dormant, local, or oceanic, yet never domesticated.

Photographs in the files show fog, double exposure, and emulsion scars that technicians swear were not present when the shutter fell. We keep them because fraud is easier to disprove than the thing that stood where fraud pretends to be.

If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.

Description

Scale estimates in the files range from human to architectural, which usually means the observer was not the unit of measure.

Sound, when recorded, has been described as wet leather, glass harmonics, or bees inside a skull; analysts note infrasound may explain some, not all.

Those who survived description speak of surfaces that refuse matte finish — wet, reflective, or oily even in dry rooms.

Historical Record

Earliest stack mention is a photocopy of a photocopy of Latin marginalia — chain of custody unsuitable for court, sufficient for caution.

Activity increased after the Innsmouth embargo and the Antarctic expedition, as if publicity taught the countryside new vocabulary for old fears.

Field Observations

Do not engage alone; two witnesses minimum, three preferred if the name was spoken aloud.

Burn nothing found pulsing; catalogue first, then burn if protocol allows.

What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
