I have some skeptikism on this one. Because he was defeated by strawberry short cake.
plus he only appears on southpark twice. So my question is does he really count as a monster because he is a god. not a monster. So Blam.
Have you ever read the Call of the Cthulhu?
thats not a movie, nor a video game nor in a tv show. So does not count
False. There is at least one Call of Cthulhu video game, and they have made Cthulhu movies. He has also been referenced in countless games, movies, and tv shows. Besides, you go and tell Cthulhu he doesn't count. Oh, wait, you can't because as soon as you catch sight of him, your sanity is completely obliterated and you die instantly.
Cthulhu wins. Nyah nyah na boo boo, stick yer head in doo doo.
Also, Cthulhu is not a god, technically, but compared to us humans, he is. As we might treat an ant colony, so does great Cthulhu view us mere humans.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Cthulhu is beyond petty concepts such as "good" and "evil". Cthuhlu is, was, and shall be. He was ancient when the world was young. He ruled the earth aeons ago, and he shall reign again soon. Those who recognize his supremacy will be granted a swift and merciful death. The rest.... not so much.
Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!
Cthulhu is so horrific that looking at statues of him is enough to drive you insane.

At first, I thought the Cloverfield monster was supposed to be Cthulhu until they started showing more shots of it.

Though you never directly confront him, and he isn't very imposing, the fact that he's subtly pulling the strings and controlling most of the occurances throughout the game makes him one of the most terrifying creatures ever conceived.
That, and his design in itself is incredibly unnerving.

Either Cthulhu or Dagon, Cthulhu more though. And yes, he does count. 4 movies, (with about 6 based on his premise) 5 books, a whole stack of video games and tv show references. RPG games, and even a musical.....Why yes, there sure is a Shoggoth on the Roof.
