Lovecraft and others.  Rather than try and come up with an explanation I'll paraphrase Chaosium's <a href="http://www.chaosium.com/cthulhu/rpg/2386.shtml" target="_blank">Call of Cthulhu site.</a> The Great Old Ones ruled the Earth aeons before the incidental rise of man. They came from the gulfs of space, waged war upon one another, and then were cast down by even greater beings. Remains of their cyclopean cities and forbidden knowledge can still be found in the remote extremes of our planet.  Upon uncharted islands, within dark ocean depths, under burning desert sands, locked within polar ice, miles below the Earthís crust, they lay imprisoned. But when the Stars are right they will awaken and walk this earth once more. Call of Cthulhu is our classic roleplaying game of Lovecraftian horror in which ordinary people are confronted by the terrifying and alien forces of the Cthulhu Mythos.What they don't tell you is that this "Cthulhu" guy is a great old one, and when he awakens "when the Stars are right" he'll eat humanity and rule the earth.Hope this helps.</blockquote>
