Cthulhu. Wings, octopus face, giant body. Classic.

Nyarlathotep. Many faces, all terrifying. Like Dana Carvey in that movie about disguises.

Shub-Niggurath. The black goat with a thousand young. A single parent just trying to get along.

Yig. Snake god. Wriggly.

Azathoth. The blind idiot god, which seems like a needlessly ableist and rude way to describe him.

Chanus. Do you get it? Because he's so old, like a Great Old One. Does Chanus have tentacles?

No, if you say it right you already are insane
If you say it wrong, the insane will hunt you down and kill you or make you insane, too
I would have said Dagon.
The shitposts in the cricket sub-reddit match thread are great.
He gets hit by a medium sized ship and goes home. Hardly the stuff of terrifying nightmares.
It's one of the drawbacks of showing your unimaginable terrors which drive men mad. Once you show them and the reader just thinks hmmm so it's like an octopus on a wrestler it loses some of the eldritch glory. Having it be defeated and driven back into slumber by something so trivial as kinetic force is also disappointing. Far better is the climax of At The Mountains Of Madness, where someone looks back at the presumed form of an Old One and is driven mad, but we never find out what they saw.

I don't think there are a thousand though.
Laurel and Hardy and Cthulhu.
I really need to reread Mountains of Madness, I don’t really remember much of it apart from being one of my favorites.
Laundry Files.
The goat one sounds cool but has an unfortunate name
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
I was a bush pilot
Those people were the coolest parents the were super into board games and tabletop stuff not GW stuff tho well that’s a lie we played Epic for a while there
I think most people go for "Shub ni GOOR ath" as a pronunciation for that reason
But two thousand tiddy
Is the kid named Trap?
Khorne feels a bit route one to beat unknowable Gods that drive men mad. It's all very well being powerful and bloodthirsty but you're going to need to bring more to the table, especially if the fight is on a non-Euclidean battlefield. Slaneesh wouldn't want to fight and instead rolls to seduce Cthulhu. Tzeentch feels like they'd fit right in with the unknowable, ever-changing hosts of the Great Old Ones and starts a small magic shop with Nyarlathotep, happy to find a kindred spirit at last. Everyone avoids Nurgle, who is gross.
It's a draw.
