Lovecraft gets his due, in tiny scale :)

Tiny Octopus-Like Microorganisms Named After Lovecraft's Cthulhu

Newly discovered tiny octopus-like microorganisms have been named after the fictional monsters created by American horror author H.P. Lovecraft. The single-cell protists, Cthulhu macrofasciculumque and Cthylla microfasciculumque, live in the gut of termites and help them digest wood.

Here is the actual article:

Cthulhu Macrofasciculumque n. g., n. sp. and Cthylla Microfasciculumque n. g., n. sp., a Newly Identified Lineage of Parabasalian Termite Symbionts

Anyone familiar with HP Lovecraft should recognise Cthulhu. Cthylla, while part of the Mythos, was created by Brian Lumley, who also wrote the very creepy Necroscope series. They rather remind my of hid description of a Wamphiri more than great Cthulhu, to be honest. What do you think?
