I never thought of it before, but, how exactly the Outer gods would see us? Are we repelling for them? Was Cthulhu actually trying to get rid of pests infesting his house?
I mean Yog-Sothoth doesn't exactly count as a god, it is actually far beyond that, more like the multiverse in one being (like Eternity from Marvel). Regarding the deep one, they are basically horny fishmen not too far beyond human. What i'm talking about is, how the Outer Gods actually see us?
