Power/Ability to:	Have the traits and abilities of Cthulhu Mythos Deities.

The power to have the traits and abilities of Deities from Cthulhu Mythos. Variation of Transcendent Physiology and Eldritch Physiology.

Capabilities

The user can have the traits and abilities of the Deities of the Cthulhu Mythos, which can be divided into three broad groups:

Outer Gods: Described by H.P. Lovecraft as barely focused, near impersonal forces of nature (Nyarlathotep being the only one with real personality), uncaring and supremely indifferent.

Great Old Ones: Generally physical beings, if vastly powerful, and as such somewhat more relatable. They could be considered as extremely advanced aliens, although not always made from the matter as we understand it and not as bound to the laws of nature.

Elder Gods: Little is known about them. They are said to be "benevolent" entities and oppose the Great Old Ones. Some are known to humans as the gods of various mythologies and religions.
