Trivia[]
- Previously, it had a right-click option, Drown, which caused the Karamthulhu to instantly use a magic-based water attack, at the cost of two summoning points. It has been removed since the Evolution of Combat.
- The Karamthulhu is a reference to H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu, its name being a portmanteau of "Karambwan" and "Cthulhu".
- The first examine text is a reference to the Superman villain General Zod, who says "Kneel before Zod."
- Before the release of Summoning, Karamthulhu was involved in a bug that allowed it to appear and walk around for a bit before disappearing.
- The examine text, "I will call him Squiddy, and he shall be my Squiddy, and he shall be mine," is a reference to the popular Pixar movie, Finding Nemo, where one of the main characters, Dory, says a similar phrase.
- Doomsphere Device may be a reference to Doomsday device.
