User blog comment:Jake888/Why I think Cthulhu is so scary/@comment-4715955-20170926065501

Funny how this post went up along with a similar post trying to make sense of Slenderman. Problem is, you can actually find consistency and logic behind Cthulhu and the other beast-gods of the Lovecraft mythos: they're an embodiment of the fear of the unknown, and of humanity's smallness in the universe. Slenderman is a little kid making up a scary story as he goes.
