This mug depicts H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu (pronounced: "kuh-THOO-loo"). Cthulhu made his first official appearance in the short story "The Call of Cthulhu," written by Lovecraft in 1926, although no living character in the story ever sets eyes on the actual creature. The characters we meet in the story see Cthulhu either in dreams or in artwork. The narrator of the story says that a statue of Cthulhu resembled, in part, an octopus, a dragon and a human-like or anthropomorphic creature.

From Storm Crow Alehouse in Canada: "Nilgh'ri hail Cthulhu! Imbibe in our Cthulhu Tiki mug filled to the brim with pineapple juice, coconut cream and the darkest of rums! When you're finished, take the mug home! This tiki mug includes a special custom dry ice chamber in the headpiece for maximum vapor emission." This headpiece is removable.
