Cthulhu’s In My Bathtub!

Oh, no!  H.P. Lovecraft’s slimy octopus-dragon-overlord has escaped from the undersea dungeon of R’lyeh, crawled through the sewers, and manifested himself in your tub!  What do you do?  Kill it?  Worship it?  Feed it your rose-scented soap-on-a-rope?

One thing’s for sure, Cthulhu is more versatile than 10,000 rubber duckies!
