Strictly speaking it doesn't look like "official" cthulhu that much. But it's clearly.. cthulhoid and lovecraftian. Of course, the people in the boat won't care about semantics soon.

you need to reread the stories. just SEEING Cthulhu in person is enough to induce explosive diarrhea, projectile vomit, and burning urine. and as if that weren't enough, as your paralyzed knees cause you to collapse into a pool of your own blood and filth, your mind is being anally raped over and over again by the agonizingly superior alien intellect of a Great Old One, who is force feeding your mind the most horrifying and nightmarish images your primitive human imagination can comprehend. even looking at Cthulhu can turn you into a babbling madman with the mind of a mentally challenged infant.
It is true Cthulhu is a little more prone to bodily injury than other eldritch abominations, but you have to give big C his due. None of said injuries can actually kill him, and even when he is unconscious at the bottom of the ocean he's constantly sending dream-messages that can thoroughly disturb (if not drive insane outright) large numbers of humans at once.
He's small potatoes compared to, say, Yog-Sothoth. But to a human, Cthulhu is more than enough.
