[QUOTE="Khisanth the Ancient, post: 5039093, member: 11368"] Some of them (Cthulhu etc.) yes, definitely. Cthulhu was at least inconvenienced by getting rammed with a steamboat (though it's not clear if this actually defeated him -- it may simply have slowed him down enough, as he reconstituted his body, that he couldn't catch the fleeing ship) - I doubt he was more than a Quasi- or Demi-deity (personally I'd make him Quasi-, since he seems comparable to an Abomination; he does kill some people by the mere sight of him, but the dream larva can do this too, so even that isn't beyond abomination power levels). Some are implied to be incredibly, ludicrously powerful though. Azathoth is stated to create universes by his mere mindless gestures, which certainly suggests a truly immense power level. There are implications that Nyarlathotep will some day destroy the Earth (not just depopulate it, but physically destroy the planet). The 'Outer Gods/Great Old Ones' distinction isn't very useful when dealing with Lovecraft's own writings; he never used the term 'Outer Gods' - it seems to be based off Lovecraft's 'Other Gods', but these are not portrayed as universally more powerful than Cthulhu et al.
