- Start date
Glasia 森の魔王🌳
The Destroyer
@Devs can u maybe tell the official IPA pronounciation?
Kubiquity^3 🌳
Living Tree
Well Metallica based 2 songs off the short story and titled one The Call of Ktulu…spelled phonetically I believe.
Jacobi Reagan
Eye of Cthulhu
So it would be (cuh-two-luh)?
Kubiquity^3 🌳
Living Tree
Ka-two-loo
Jacobi Reagan
Eye of Cthulhu
Ok. But, because the spelling is different with Ktulu than Cthulhu I would guess they are said differently.

No…Metallica was worried about copyright infringement.
Edit: The c is pronounced as a k and the h are silent.

With Terraria or someone else?

The only secondary possibility is that the second h only is silent. In response to your question go do a historical study on Cthulhu. I have and don’t care to teach a class on it LOL.
Edit: copyright infringement with owners of HP Lovecraft short story “The Call of Cthulhu”. However Lovecraft did NOT invent the word Cthulhu per say…it is based on Ancient Greek. He did invent the mythos of Cthulhu.

where would you get the idea that the first h would be silent?
"The Call of Cthulhu" is in the public domain, at least under US copyright law.

That should be common knowledge tbh
The name Cthulhu is present in terraria lore, with no problems
Metallica probably named the previously mentioned song that way because they felt like it
they tend to do that

what means public domain? is it if you use any Cthulhu thing in your book you have to write "The cthulhu ideas were originally created by H. P. Lovecraft" at the end?

public domain basically means that you don't have to credit the creator and won't get struck down for using whatever it is that they made that you wanna use
basically nobody 'owns' it anymore, like communism but for art and also 1000 times better.

It basically means that "no one legally owns it anymore", whether due to no one legally owning it to begin with, or a variety of other reasons. People can use it for their own creative content, though there are restrictions of course.
In most countries, copyright protection expires 70 years after the death of the author, and H.P. Lovecraft died 85 years ago, so it enters "public domain".
Its a rather complicated topic, you can read more about it here: Public domain - Wikipedia
