I'm also more than a little curious why WotC doesn't consider Cthulu (octopus-headed humanoid) and the deep ones (sahaugin) to be prior art in the area of Lovecraft-inspired/copied critters, of which D&D has a pile. Lovecraft is, I believe, public-domained, but that just makes the claim to copyright on cthulu-looking critters more fuzzy.
