Everyone's always Cthulhu this and Cthulhu that, but no one ever says anything about Nyarlathotep. Am I the only who who likes Nyarlathotep?

Pssh.  People get all hung up on Cthulhu, and forget the Miskatonic Razor.
"Any sufficiently tentacled spheroid is indistinguishable from the Great Cthulhu." -- Watashi

"Never attribute to Cthulhu what can adequately be explained by Dagon." -- Miskatonic Razor

"Everything but Sterility can be inherited.  None of your direct ancestors died childless." -- Red Queen

Note to filmmakers of the future: bad dialog leads to anger, bad directing leads to hatred, shallow action sequences lead to suffering. Farming out a movie to a corporation of computer animators is a path to the dark side of filmmaking.

GMD uses Nyarlathotep in some of its practices!

Nyarlathotep > Cthulhu

for that matter, Azathoth > Cthulhu

and let's not forget, Shub Niggurath > Cthulhu

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

I agree. As cool as the other elder gods might be, they just aren't the Cthulu I've grown to know and love.
Gotta admit, though........I love him best of all when he's at horab's place instead of mine.

What about Yog Sothoth?

Or is he ignored because he's in the Illuminatus Trilogy?

probaly because he's the redheaded bastard child of the elder gods.

there was a wailing and a syphoning as the birthing pains of yog sothoth's illegitimate stepfather shrieked cyclopean rages from teh depths of time into th ematerial wakign world of men and sciences, from that hporrible abominable bosom came th ehideous thing, the offspring of the coupling of the colour out of space and He Who's Name Must Not Be Spoken, the black man, and the finitesimal angles which vexed my shattered mind in the early days of may. There was a faded shadow of what may have been but never was, and what was given to that shadow was the form of the Gate, who was also the Keeper of the Gate, an all in one and one in all being of limitless being and self from beyond the boundaries of space and time, who was also known under the name of rudy and amny other names, but especially rudy when trying out for the football team.

For me it's a tie between Yog-Sothoth and Nyatlathotep. But doesn't seem fair to compare Cthulhu to them, because he's not really a god is he?

Please don't let Cthulu hear you say that. You have no idea what he's like when he throws a temper tantrum. All I can say is "Thank Eris it's horab's turn to have custody of him right now!"
