* The Sushi Knife of Doom in Munchkin Cthulhu. At first you wonder why a sushi knife gets to be so doomy. Then you realize that nearly all sushi is composed of seafood, and that many of Lovecraft's monsters ''were'' reminiscent of sea creatures (he had a deep fear of the sea) and that in LovecraftLite and [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] works (like, I don't know, ''Munchkin Cthulhu''), eldritch abominations are ''nearly always'' [[TentacledTerror tentacle monsters]].
** This is even more brilliant if you're familiar with another Lovecraftian-themed game, TabletopGame/ArkhamHorror. One of the most badass characters in TabletopGame/ArkhamHorror is Zoey Samaras. Samaras fights monsters and cultists, but by day she works as a chef. [[https://eldritchhorrorgame.fandom.com/wiki/Zoey_Samaras She's often depicted in the art as using a kitchen knife as a weapon.]]
* Absolutely best is the strongest monster of all, Plutonium Dragon. Which is, of course [[spoiler: parody of the Platinum Dragon (Bahamut) in AD&D]].
