The Cthulhu X-Files
The Cthulhu X-Files — a Great Old One in the mythos index; cult traces and dream contagion documented under Miskatonic seal. Register ME-1931-W68/3377.
Overview
Miskatonic seal ME-1931-W68/3377 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `the-cthulhu-x-files`.
No sober cartographer places The Cthulhu X-Files on a map mortals may buy; nevertheless, deeds, drownings, and dreams cluster where the name is whispered.
We catalogue The Cthulhu X-Files because silence failed: too many unrelated witnesses described the same wrong geometry after the same sleepless week.
Lovecraft's own prose — when he is the witness — should be read in the /library before this summary is trusted. Posthumous expansion (Derleth, Smith, Campbell, Wilson, and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.
The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

Field Observations
If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.
Burn nothing found pulsing; catalogue first, then burn if protocol allows.
Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.

The most infamous grimoire of the mythos, an Arabic manuscript of rituals, histories, and formulae that erode the sanity of readers and have never been wholly suppressed, only scattered.

dormantCthulhu
High Priest of the Great Old Ones
A colossal entity of draconic and cephalopodic aspect, dreaming in death-like slumber beneath the Pacific until the stars align, and when they do, the world will know madness again.
