Lovecraft Country recently completed its amazing first season. While fans still try to sort out everything that happened in the finale, some are already looking ahead to season two. The first season featured a ton of different monsters and creatures from the mythos of author H.P. Lovecraft, and a second season could feature even more.

Some of the best first season creatures came from sources outside of Lovecraft's own works, which makes sense, as the show is as much about real-world horror as anything else. Still, a number of Lovecraftian horrors would be ideal to explore in the future.

Scariest: Topsy And Bopsy

Lovecraft Country Topsy Betsy

Not all of the horrors of Lovecraft Country have anything to do with H.P. Lovecraft. The beauty of the show is that it conveys how real-world monsters are just as dangerous and scary. Topsy and Besty aren't real, per se, but they have roots in real-world trauma.

They appear in episode eight, largely inspired by A Nightmare On Elm Street. Topsy and Bopsy spring from the cover of the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, which has a complicated history in American culture, to say the least. They're manic and jerky motions and dogged pursuit of Dee make them some of the scariest creatures in the show.

Still Want To See: Nodens

Lovecraft Country Nodens

Nodens is a benevolent but nonetheless frightening creature who opposes Nyarlathotep—more on him later. Nodens appears as an old man with a long, white beard, and he looks a little like Neptune with his trident. He rides a chariot made of giant seashells and pulled by aquatic creatures.

Lovecraft actually adopted Nodens in name and concept from Celtic mythology. Nodens first appeared in H.P. Lovecraft’s short story “The Strange High House in the Mist," which was published in 1926.

Scariest: Ghosts

Lovecraft Country Ghosts

Some of the most horrific moments in the first season of Lovecraft Country came in the third episode. Leti buys a house in Trumbull Park on the north side of Chicago and realizes to her horror that it was the site of truly awful crimes. The mutilated visages of ghosts appear to her in the house, all victims of sick and twisted experimentation from the house's former owner, Hiriam Epstein. Leti eventually joined forces with the ghosts to banish Epstein from the house and give them some measure of peace.

Still Want To See: Nyarlathotep

Lovecraft Country Nyarlathotep

Nyarlathotep, also known as the Crawling Chaos, first appeared in a poem of the same name in 1920. Lovecraft first described the character as a 'tall, swarthy man' who somewhat resembled an Egyptian pharaoh. Later writers expanded the story of the character and placed in the pantheon of the Outer Gods within the greater Lovecraftian mythos.

Nyarlathotep would be an ideal creature to explore in future seasons of the show. Outwardly he would appear human, but his true form would drive people utterly insane.

Scariest: Kumiho

Ji-Ah's tentacles come out of her face in Lovecraft Country

One of the most frightening and tragic creatures witnessed in the first season of the show is the Kumiho. This startling creature of Korean legend inhabited the guise of Ji-Ah, Tic's lover during the Korean War.

A kumiho is a fox with nine tails that can impersonate a beautiful woman, as it does with Ji-Ah. As depicted in the show, Ji-Ah takes the lives and souls of her victims as she sleeps with them. When she collects a hundred of them, she will transform into a real person.

Still Want To See: Azathoth

Lovecraft Country Azathoth

Azathoth is a cosmic entity immense in size and power. This massive blob of tentacles and mouths floats in the center of the universe. It could be said that the creature would be a hard fit into the television series, but, given the breadth of space and time the show played with in the first season, maybe not. Azathoth first appeared in “The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath” and was also referenced in the stories “The Whisperer in Darkness” and “The Haunter of the Dark.”

Scariest: Cthulhu

Cthulhu is the most popular—and by far the most influential—creature from the Lovecraftian mythos. That likely meant that many recognized him in the fantastic and reference heavy opening scene of the series.

Cthulhu is a giant creature with many squid-like tentacles. Depending on the artistic interpretation, he can appear as an octopus, a dragon, or other creatures. He started off the series with a major dose of horror, true to his role in the larger world of the story.

Still Want To See: Glaaki

Lovecraft Country Glaaki

Nearly endless creatures abound in the pantheon of Lovecraftian horrors. One of the most horrifying is Glaaki. Glaaki is a Great Old One, but not created by Lovecraft himself. The character was created by Ramsey Campbell and first appeared in the story “The Inhabitant of the Lake” (1964).

Glaaki is basically a gigantic slug who excretes fluid from its quills that turns people into zombies. Though the creature landed in England after crashing to Earth in a meteor in the story, they could easily be revised to crash in America.

Scariest: Shoggoth

Lovecraft Country Shoggoth Monster

The shoggoth featured in the first episodes of the series and remain one of the most frightening creatures realized on-screen—though they were almost even scarier. The shoggoths are actually pretty basic in terms of where they rank in the Lovecraftian mythology of horrors. These vampiric creatures are essentially footsoldiers of the hierarchy of monsters.

In the books, they're more or less blobs of protoplasm without any features, but, in the series, they were made much more monstrous in appearance.

Still Want To See: Mordiggian

Lovecraft Country Mordiggian

Mordiggian is one of the creatures created by someone other than Lovecraft for the benefit of his shared universe. Clark Ashton Smith created Mordiggian in the story “The Charnel God” from 1934 as a sort of reptilian entity, though visual interpretations of him, like most figures in the Cthulhu mythos, vary.

Mordiggian consumes all of the heat and energy surrounding him, which is bad for anybody around him. He drains them of their energy and basically disintegrates them. This energy vampire would make for a great addition to the series.
