My heart leaped up when my eyes saw this one! Yes, we’ve been quiz-heavy over the past 24 hours it is true, but there exists in this world not the slightest chance that raincoaster was gonna let this one get past her without taking credit where credit is, according to the Quiz Gods, due.
Bow down and worship me, mortals, lest ye be driven to gibbering madness to quench the divine thirst of the Greatest of the Great Old Ones, mighty Cthulhu!
Oooh, there’ll be no living with me after this!
You scored as Cthulhu. You are Great Cthulhu! You lay and dream at home (or the beach) most of the time but one day (when the stars are right) you will suddenly have the power to get out there and show the world what youre made of! Lets hope you dont do too much damage……

Now if only I knew what this meant . . . by the way, did Lovecraft include a pronunciation guide somewhere?
Cthulhu 75%
Nodens 70%
Yog-Sothoth 60%
Nyarlathotep 40%
Shub Niggurath 40%
Hastur 35%
Azathoth 20%
Lovecraft did indeed explain pronunciation a couple of times, although it’s not really helpful because whatever led him to write it “Cthulhu” also made his guide of “Kuh-thoolhyew or Klooloo” one or the other appear to make sense to him. It is not so with everyone else. Those appear quite different to us. Us Elder Gods.
In his podcast (which I have somewhere in the blog, maybe search for it?) Calls for Cthulhu, Great Cthulhu himself suggests the name is unpronounceable unless you have nine throats, nose tentacles, and a mouth six feet across.
Allow me to offer an interpretation of your result: you’re lazy, you have a strong desire to kick some ass and be respected for your ability to kick ass, you’re highly unpredictable(Cthulhu AND his arch-nemesis, Nodens, Lord of the Abyss) but never illogical (low Azathoth you see). You like to explain yourself (moderately high Nyarlathotep, messenger of the Great Old Ones) and you have a very healthy appetite (there’s your Yog-Sothoth).
Anyone else care to parse someone’s result?
Hmm. Beginning to suspect the test is rigged. Either that or I have warped and disturbing friends.
Oh–wait. Look where I’m hanging around at 1 AM.
Cthulhu 80%
Nyarlathotep 70%
Yog-Sothoth 60%
Shub Niggurath 60%
Azathoth 45%
Nodens 45%
Hastur 40%
Indeed, I think it IS fixed to give everyone Cthulhu as a top choice. He wasn’t even the coolest god, actually, nor is that a full list. Knowing myself as well as I do I expect eventually I’ll start making my own.
Which Twenties cocktail are you? Which 4th Century BC Greek Philosopher are you? What does your fortune cookie say? Which subspecies did your ancestors interbreed with? Which building will you blow up? What kind of Civil Disobedience will you pull next? etc, etc, etc.
Oh Metro, that’s nailed you. Slavering, didactic and oversexed. That is simply uncanny.
Does this quiz have any room for Aslan (the Kind), his friend Trufflehunter or the gloomy Marsh-Wiggle ?
Try it and see.
I think I can mostly agree with your interpretation, raincoaster, though I’d say I’m more of a procrastinator than lazy. Someone once told me how to pronounce Azathoth but now I’ve forgotten – it isn’t pronounced as it looks, apparently. This was after he’d mispronounced my nickname, which almost everyone does.
You scored as Nyarlathotep.
You are Nyarlathotep! You are different from others in a dark way… You like to get your own way and go about getting it by manipulating people. You like to disguise your self to go about your duties and sometimes you are even mistaken for the devil…..
Shub Niggurath 70%
Nyarlathotep 70%
Azathoth 65%
Yog-Sothoth 60%
Nodens 60%
Cthulhu 55%
Hastur 50%
So definitely not rigged to always be Cthulhu.
I’ve only been mistaken for the devil once..and that was by me.
However…as I’m not to hot on the cthulhu mythos stuff I can’t reall speak in general. I quite liked the picture I got with it though.I have to say.
Can you give me the skinny on Shub (did I just say that)..as its only telling me about one of my two joint 1st results (my tie breaker was either tall, slender and joyous or Ugly….to be honest…I couldn’t really bring myself to be honest so I picked the first one).
Any help what being half Shub half Nyarlathotep means?
Shub Niggurath is the black goat of the woods with a thousand young, a rapacious and insatiable fertility god and the god of transformation, and Nyarlathotep is the messenger of the gods, so you are an oversexed communicator. Good thing you’re in show business, it’s perfect for you!
Damn..that sounds not far off right.
Disturbing.
And I’m hardly in Show business, I do DJ, I’ve never yet been paid for it in anything apart from booze and good will.
(Dot even in sex….dammit)
Ermm….that should be not..not dot…I’m trying to work out what that Freudian Typo means…can’t think of anything apart from Dot from the animaniacs…which worries me
Dot is short for Dorothy, though. Are you a Friend of Dorothy’s? But perhaps it ties in with the Disney quiz in some bizarre way?
DJing is show business, though. “It’s All Gone Pete Tong” was a classic of the cinema.
FYI Nyarlathotep is a formless void, a gateway with no shape but those of the disguises he wears. Shub Niggurath isn’t actually goaty, he’s apparently hermaphroditic and tripod-like down below, but with a head made of gelatinous, swirling tentacles in good Cthulhu mythos tradition: that’s not Lovecraft’s description, it’s Ramsay Campbell’s. Isn’t he your homeboy?
Ramsay Campbell, yo.
Erm..not quite..unless he wrote Practical Demonkeeping (I read it years and years and years ago and have no idea who wrote it…and am too lazy to look it up) in which case…yo.
Anyway, the point I was making was that I’m all Show and no Business. I DJ, but I don’t get paid…Still…I enjoy both the sex and the communication.
So I guess I can dig that.
Haven’t seen the Pete Tong film though.
Glad to be hermaphroditic though…that way I get all the fun (and kind of ties in with the gender confusion that occured on my blog some time ago).
Anyway,
Thanks for the heads up…I’ll try and keep my tripod down and my tentacles up…or something.
Ok…I researched…its by Christopher Moore…definitely not Ramsay Campbell…I have a sudden feeling that in fact that was the book I read when literally about ten that introduced me to the concept of Lovecraft and Campbell (they both appeared in the book as characters..I discover as the haze shifts).
Anyway, that’s that.
And yes…I just established that Ramsay Campbell lives in Hastings, which means he is indeed my homeboy (well…he’s in the same county).
Anyway…that’s enough for confusion for now..I’ve got work to go to.
Hey, howcum I know more about your people than you do? Because I’m CTHULHU, THAT’S WHY!!!!
That is cthuite a cthuiz there. Let the gibbering begin!
“Slavering, didactic and oversexed”? How dare you call me didactic?
Didactic means “intended to impart people a moral lesson”. I am intended to impart immoral lessons. Do not confuse the two!
But waitaminit. We got the same result!
How very Buddhist:
When you evaluate me, you also evaluate yourself.
You drooly, cornicious, moralizing, wheel-heeled person, ya. High eight!

raincoaster, you might like this:
I’ll fix it, engtech. Thanks for the link! I hadn’t heard of that one, but will look for it.
Metro, alas I have a very low Shub-Niggurath, which means I (unlike you) am sadly undersexed. I thought about reversing that when I ran into a bunch of cops on the way to Lydia’s tonight, but unfortunately they were all distracted by some crime dude. How thoughtless of him!
You missed it. Check my blog in about an hour.
Shall do, should I be straight enough at that point. Have them come to the back door, where the neighbors can’t see!
