Difference between revisions of "Category:LovecraftMythos"

This category consists mostly of the original creations of [[H.P. Lovecraft]] for his "mythos", though some entries may originate in stories ghost-written, edited, or collaborated on by Lovecraft, or later elaborated on by other writers (for example, the [[Gyaa-yothn]] and [[People of K'n-yan]] might have been creations of co-author of "The Mound" [[Zelia Bishop]], and the "[[Byakhee]]" is an invention of [[August Derleth]], but the description appears earlier, in a Lovecraft story.)  Many of the popular incarnations of mythos elements are actually more the creation of writers for the ''[[Call of Cthulhu (RPG)]]'' including [[Sandy Petersen]], who would elaborate on creatures that Lovecraft gave only the sketchiest of descriptions of (for example, [[Zoog]]s, [[Buopoth]]s).  Wherever a creature is known for sure to have been the creation of another writer, it is instead attributed to that author and not included here.
