“Chthonic ones are being of the earth, both ancient and up-to-the-minute.
I imagine chthonic ones as replete with tentacles, feelers, digits, cords, whiptails, spider legs, and very unruly hair. […]; they belong to none; and they write and luxuriate in manifold forms and manifold names in all the airs, waters, and places of earth. They make and unmake; they are made and unmade.” - Donna J. Haraway
