zslane 1,549 Report post Posted August 14 Wow, those are all amazing! I just wish the human reference silhouette was on all of them. 1 Trencher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eepjr24 301 Report post Posted August 14 I don't think the fiction supports having a scale for all of them. Some of them are never compared to anything and thus very difficult to scale. I would imagine that Zoth-Ommog is quite large as it's description includes a comparison to dinosaurs, but no explicit size is given that I know of. - E 1 Trencher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
death tribble 2,814 Report post Posted August 14 Some are man sized. It is a good resource but I liked some of the art that has been previously done for Nyarlathotep and Cthulhu in particular. 1 Trencher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a good resource but I liked some of the art that has been previously done for Nyarlathotep and Cthulhu in particular. Sure. But at least one of Cthulhu's progeny was described as "only measurable in a scale of miles". I'm just saying that some are not explicitly given a size, some have a vague inference and some are quite specific. Plus it varies if you only believe certain authors should be canon. - E 1 Trencher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zslane 1,549 Report post Posted August 14 Nyarlathotep can take pretty much any form he wants, so any drawing of him is going to challenge the notion of canonicity in any case. One thing I find bemusing is that in the board game Arkham Horror, you will often find your investigators fighting dholes, which given their size is absurd. But hey, it's just a dumb board game, right? 1 Trencher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

archer 83 Report post Posted August 17 I assume every Lovecraftian horror is larger than a football stadium until shown to be otherwise. 1 2 zslane, Trencher and tkdguy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
