Pudge is an excellent counter to Cthulhu since Cthulhu relies on position and playing a relentless chaser, Pudge can easily pull Cthulhu out of position with Chain Hook and hold him in place with Dismember.

Bane is another excellent counter to Cthulhu as Bane can easily hold Cthulhu in place with both Nightmare and Fiend's Grip.
