D&D 5E (2024) Tharizdun's prison as a Domain of Dread

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Really not a fan that Cthulhu can be 'trapped' or held.

How about "we built a demiplane around where he was already and hope its walls can hold him, but don't know for sure?"

That would be fine.

Tharizdum has one of my favourite depictions as an eldrich entity.

And that's why I try to clean out my fridge every few months.

Tharizdun isn’t chained; he’s just biding his time patiently while adorned in lots of bling.

Didn't the brief description mentioned so far for Cthulhu is that he is not truly trapped in Ravenloft, but imprisoned while he sleeps, and if he were to awaken, he would rip a hole right through the realm as he escapes?

We got some of his description, which states he’s unlike the other domain prisoner in that he’s not in an ironic prison, but rather physically sealed in a prison in a domain so he can’t directly act.
But his dreams slip beyond his prison to manipulate minds and orchestrating events to release him.
