That time Samael and Michael created this beautiful planet in preparation for the Garden of Eden. The second planet from a yellow sun. Perfect conditions, perfect temperature...

...And then they got into a fight and things went south, fast...

Of course they had to move on to the next planet, but there was a slight problem...

God: You see this planet, my sons? It is the third planet from the yellow sun. This will be the new home of Eden.

Samael and Michael: .......

God: Go forth and do my bidding.

Samael: But... It's a ball of molten lava. It was even hit by another planet!

Michael: Father, we could simply attempt to repair the second planet from the...

God: Did I stutter, my sons?

A sudden, terrifying thought

When you see an animal with its eyes set to the front, like wolves, or humans, that’s usually a predator animal.

If you see an animal with its eyes set farther back, though—to the side—that animal is prey.

Now look at this dragon.

See those eyes?

They’re to the SIDE.

This raises an interesting—and terrifying—question.

What in the name of Lovecraft led evolution to consider DRAGONS…

As PREY?

That’s such a boring way to name a character, honestly.

Apparently in the expanded Cthulhu Mythos there is a character named Cthylla, who is the daughter of Cthulhu and Idh-yaa

...which means that the family of the character whose name was invented to be incomprehensible and unpronuncable follows the Latin naming system/declension.

*sarcastically raised eyebrow* Wow, sure stretched the ol' creativity there, huh. Really branching out by having a male name in the 4th declension. So amazingly unheard of.

And for those of you who - like me - know how hard Latin grammar is, this isn't a post joking about that. Cause a whole lot of English names still fit that Latin format. Which means whichever Cthulhu Mythos creator is responsible for this did not bother to pick a naming system that was even unusual in, let alone unseen in, English.

They literally just went "feminine form is -a or -la" because it usually is in English.
