Primary Abilities

Q
Plasmatic Eclipse
Upon activation, Cthulhu summons a rainstorm around himself for the next 3 seconds, slowing all nearby enemies. After 3 seconds, all nearby enemies will be struck by lightning and any current debuffs will have their duration extended by 1 second.

“It is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness, silence, and solitude.”
W
Sanity Shatter
Once the target is struck by the projectile, their sanity will shatter to nothing, applying fear and both reducing armor and movement speed for 2 seconds. The projectile will deal damage upon impact, the damage being Cthulhu's attack DMG but magical. Feared enemies will run away from Cthulhu.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents."
R
Call of Cthulhu
Cthulhu will spread his wings and then fly backwards before diving into the selected location, slamming his claws down, dealing damage and applying a magical DMG barrier for 2.5 seconds. The barrier's HP increasing per enemy hero hit.

"What has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise."

Ultimate Abilities

R
Starfall
Cthulhu roars and causes the sky to fall for 6 seconds, forcing all enemies' vision to 500 and causing stars to fall upon enemies in a radius for every 165 meters moved. If the enemies are within a 350 radius of Cthulhu, stars are guaranteed to fall on them every second.

"When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live."

Other Abilities

Insanity Culmination
Enemies within range will slowly have their sanity drop. This stacks, and each stack will reduce their vision distance and increase magical damage taken. When a enemy leaves the radius, all of the stacks will deplete after 8 seconds. It takes 2.2s for each stack to apply.
 BONUS MAGIC DMG PER STACK

“The Thing cannot be described - there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order."
Aghanim's Scepter
Call of Cthulhu will apply Sanity Shatter to all enemies hit. Sanity Shatter's movement slow is also increased.
Aghanim's Shard
Call of Cthulhu's DMG barrier now absorbs all types of damage and the duration is increased by +1.5s.
