Was Cthulu and the other beings from his mythos ever statted in 3.0 or 3.5? Either way, which book were they in?

There was a Cthulhu d20 supplement a while back. It...wasn't great. 'If it has stats, we can kill it' is intrinsic to d20, but completely at odds with Lovecraftian horror. You know what stats Cthulhu needs? EATS 1D6 INVESTIGATORS PER ROUND!

Actually, unless you're using a standard D&D character against them, most of the creatures in CoC d20 are extraordinarily deadly. The CR's listed for those creatures are what they'd be when compared to an adventurer not an investigator.

Gods in Deities & Demigods don't usually have a CR listed, but the CoC D20 major beings all do.

Next to a party of fairly optimized adventurers of their level or close to it, they are probably quite weak.

Actually, in the original Chaosium Call of Cthulhu game, he did have that ability. No saving throws or anything, either. Oh, and if by some freak of luck or planning or abusing the rules you managed to reduce his hp to 0- pretty much impossible, even with magic- he reforms 1d10+10 minutes later at full health.
See, with Cthulhu, there's no point in statting him out. There's no chance, no saving throw... You lose. That's it.
Don't even get me started on the outer gods.:smalltongue:

Cthulhu is a 1st level Kobold paladin with a high knowledge check.
