Lovecraft "Another race - a land race of beings shaped like octopi and probably corresponding to fabulous pre-human spawn of Cthulhu - soon began filtering down from cosmic infinity and precipitated a monstrous war which for a time drove the Old Ones wholly back to the sea - a colossal blow in view of the increasing land settlements."
