Both Yog Sothoth and Cthulu are mythical beings
from the work of fiction Cthlu Mythos by HP
Lovecraft.
They are both extremely powerful, and both
quite mysterious.
One an all seeing god, another a giant extra-terrestrial
with psychic powers.
But what would happen if both of these beings
battled it out for supremacy?
Who would win?
That’s the question we’re asking Today
on Life’s biggest questions.
Hello and welcome back to life’s biggest
questions, the channel that occasionally likes
to imagine what would happen if your favourite
mythical creatures got in a fight.
I’m your host charlotte dobre.

Before we can determine the outcome of a fight
between Yog Sothoth and Cthulu, I’m going
to briefly explain traits of both of these
beings so that we’re all on the same page.
According to H.P.
Lovecraft, the Yog Sothoth is a powerful cosmic
deity who’s appearance is a conglomeration
of glowing spheres.
It is said that even looking at Yog-Sothoth,
or learning too much about it can drive mere
humans to the brink of insanity, which is
why physical descriptions of it are limited.
Yog Sothoth is quite possibly one of the most
powerful of lovecrafts deities, sometimes
referred to as the key and the gate.
It is an outer god, meaning it is a god to
gods.
Yog Sothoth sees and knows all, it exists
and has existed at all points in time in the
multiverse.
If you wished to please yog sothoth, you would
have to either offer it a human sacrifice,
or eternal servitude.
It should also be noted that Yog Sothoth dwells
outside our reality and doesn’t obey our
laws of physics.

recommend you check out our video, what if
yog sothoth was real, clickable on the screen

Now, lets move on to Cthulu, who is likely
the most iconic from the cthulu muthos.
cthulu is nicknamed is the most powerful of
the great old ones.
For those who are unfamiliar with the term,
the old ones refers to a group of extra terrestrials
that now lie dormant.
Cthulu is the great priest of this race, and
he also once ruled the earth.
That being said Cthulu is a child of gods,
not an actual god.
According to the Cthulu mythos, the Great
Old Ones are not the most powerful gods in
existence.
In terms of appearance, Cthulu is a monster
that’s a cross between a man, an octopus
and a dragon.
It has an octopus like head, a base made up
of scaly feelers, and is hundreds of meters
tall.
Like Yog Sothoth, if a human even so much
as looked at cthulu, they would go insane.
Cthulu also has impressive psychic abilities,
he’s extremely intelligent and he also possesses
the ability to invade dreams.

cthulu, I highly recommend you check out our
video, what if cthulu was real, clickable

So now that you know a little about each of
them, lets explore what would happen if yog
sothoth and cthulu decided to battle it out.
Even though cthulu is a very powerful monster,
based on his descriptions, he doesn’t have
god-like strength, unlike yog sothoth who
is said to be all powerful.
Lovecraft did create a heiarchy when it came
to his entities.
If it were a contest between two earthly beings,
it would be somewhat of a fair fight.
However, as I stated previously, yog sothoth
is an outer god, it dwells outside our reality.
It sees everything, past present and future,
and can also manipulate any place and time
that it wishes.
To Cthulu, Yog Sothoth is god.
If cthulu ever dared to take on yog sothoth,
yog would know every move cthulu would make
before he made it.
He would know the outcome of the fight, like
how he knows how the universe began and how
it will end.
Only an outer god could defeat another outer
god like yog sothoth.
The outer gods include both Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlothotep
and Azathoth.
They are so powerful that the literally don’t
care about earthly beings, we are like ants
to them.
Perhaps if Cthulu sought the help of Azathoth,
who is said to be the most powerful of the
outer gods, he could defeat Yog-Sothoth.
But that sounds like a topic for another life’s
biggest questions.
