Cthulhu and R'lyeh
"He knows who you are, User"
Cthulhu is a large, mostly unknown creature existing and hibernating within his own city he created millions of years ago underneath the Pacific Ocean, in his sunken city of R'lyeh. Cthulhu is a Great Old One originating from the Cthulhu Mythos (or as lovecraft calls it, the Yog Sothothery) and is arguably one of the most influential monsters in fiction and most certainly the most famous monster from his mythos.

Attack Potency: Unknown, At Least Solar System Level (Is stated to have destroyed a cluster of stars prior to his arrival to Earth which included Large Stars as well within History), Likely Outerversal (The Great Old Ones are stated to exist outside of Angled space)
Speed: Massively FTL+ (He and his kin originally came from another space-time continuum, presumably the same one as the Mi-go. Like other lesser Great Old Ones, he should be capable flying between star systems without issue), possibly far higher, likely Immeasurable (Exists beyond our time and space entirely)
Lifting Strength: Class T (Due to sheer size), possibly immeasurable
Striking Strength: Unknown, At Least Solar System Level (Is stated to have destroyed a cluster of stars prior to his arrival to Earth which included Large Stars as well within History), Likely Outerversal (The Great Old Ones are stated to exist outside of Angled space)
Durability: Atleast Small Building Level to Building level (his head was sliced apart by a boat), Likely Solar System Level, Possibly Outerversal (Its immortality, various potent physiologies and regeneration make it incredibly hard to kill. It should also be noted that Cthulhu and the other Great Old Ones are apparently not made of matter, but something else entirely. Thus, it can be assumed any damage to their physical forms is purely superficial.)
Stamina: Possibly Infinite
Range: At least Planetary (Cthulhu can mentally interact with anyone on the planet). Apparently Universal when not hindered (The Great Old Ones were said to know and influence all that happened in the universe before they were sealed away/began to slumber)
Intelligence: Nigh-Omniscient (According to Old Castro, Cthulhu, and the other Great Old Ones know all that is occurring in the universe due to being able to telepathically communicate with and control any sentient beings, regardless of location. However, from his sunken city, Cthulhu's reach is restricted by some "primal mystery" in the waters, allowing him only to know everything that is transpiring on earth)
Weaknesses: Unknown
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Telepathy: Cthulhu has massive telepathic abilities that enable him to speak to individuals or groups of beings whether, in their subconscious or conscious mind, this also enables him to devastate minds of mortals, though he may be able to apply this to immortal creatures.
- Mindmash: When mortals look at Cthulhu, they will go insane.
- Unconventional Composition: Cthulhu's body is composed of an unknown material similar to plasma, it is described as "tenebrous", "slobberingly", "gelatinous", and "greasily", giving him an incorporeal quality, as such he is capable of withstanding solar heat, as well as shapeshifting into the three states of matter: Solid, Gaseous, and Liquid. The mere fact that this full physical form is (presumably) in another plane of reality makes this body undying and virtually immortal.
