Some Cthulhu Mythos entities are more of a challenge to depict than others. Tsathoggua is one of those. Descriptions of him/it are vague enough that he could be depicted in myriad ways. Unfortunately he/it has already been depicted often enough in Call of Cthulhu that I felt like there was a basic form I should stick to. I didn’t want to stray so far away from previous depictions that he/it would be completely unrecognizable. Some of those previous depictions are almost cute. And not very threatening.
I do like how this one turned out. I don’t think he’s cute. Your mileage may vary.
Pulling some guy’s guts out does help mitigate the cuteness factor.
Sometimes extreme measures are called for.
