an encyclopaedic description; code for an optional image<br />
is on the following line:)<br />

<blockquote><br />
A black, glistening... heap of twisting, ropy tentacles and gaping mouths... the outlines of a slimy, alien face.<br />
<br>— [[Brian Lumley]], "[[Rising with Surtsey]]"<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
Othuum is an oceanic [[Great Old One]] in the form of a large ball of twisting, ropy tentacles and gaping alien mouths set in an eyeless, slimy, alien face. Othuum acts as [[Cthulhu]]'s "right-hand man", enforcing Cthulhu's will on Earth when Othuum and [[Minion of Othuum|its minions]] rise up on the ocean floor within range of human victims.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Cult==<br />
<!-- <br />
(An optional description of the GOO's cult. Cults with a lot of <br />
detail might be more easily described on their own Organization <br />
page, and in that case provide links to those organization pages:)<br />
--><br />
The Cult of Othuum consists mainly of [[Minion of Othuum|its minions]], along with small groups of [[Human Cultist|human agents]], [[Deep One]]s, and [[Xothan|other aquatic Mythos monsters]], and Othuum's cult may serve Othuum alongside other oceanic [[Great Old One]]s.<br />

<!-- <br />
==Heresies and Controversies==<br />
(Optional. This is a good place to include non-canon and controversial <br />
aspects of the Great Old One's mythos. Suggested Alternative Theories <br />
include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; <br />
"fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric takes on <br />
the mythos like Lovecraft's family tree; identification with "Real <br />
Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical <br />
phenomena; fan theories; monster-makeover suggestions; such rumor and <br />
speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos.) <br />
