1. Cthulhu

2. (Same as above)

3. Description - An acient, unholy evil hailing from strange and distant stars, long ago banished to his sunken city of Rh'lyeh as punishment for conceiving horrific supernatural beasts and nightmarish visages, which he scattered across every world and dimension. Among the oldest of gods, Cthulhu was greatly feared by humanity and other the gods, including Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Together, with their combined efforts, they were able to trap Cthulhu in the confines of Pandora's Box and send the box to a place they thought it could do no harm; a place where his powers would be stripped and his name long forgotten - the Land Without Magic. But they were wrong. For many years, Cthulhu laid in wait beneath the sea, trapped in the box yet spreading horrific visions and inducing madness on the lives of those who shortly after go missing, or turn up in some infernal cult speaking unholy languages unutterable to human mouths. His terrifying spawn still serve him across countless worlds, and some have lived in the Land Without Magic for quite some time, lurking in the shadows as they wait for their dark lord to return. No one has dared utter his name for many years, and many have thought him merely a myth meant to scare people from ever using magic or, most prevalently, from ever daring to delve into the unknown. But there is one person that has crossed the line more than all others; one who serves his own desires above all else at the expense of giving others a wish - Rumpelstiltskin, the current Dark One. With help from the man with the magic hat, Jefferson, he found Pandora's Box long, long ago and took posession of it in the Enchanted Forest, aware that it contained the world's worst evil but unsure of exactly what it was.

4. Special skills/power - Inducing madness, insanity, and death; creating horrific monsters to serve his will; the creator of the first dark magic, older even than the Darkness of the Dark Ones; power over the sea, dreams, thoughts, and making fears reality; just to look upon him induces such terror that those before him can be paralyzed by the sheer unnatural-ness of his eldritch, monstrous body, too scary for lesser beings and mortals to comprehend; the dreams of his victims are haunted by visions of his squid-like features and slimy, humanoid body with leathery, bat-like wings

5. Connection to OUAT characters - Trapped by Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades in Pandora's Box and sent deep beneath the oceans of the Land Without Magic in the hopes of stopping his evil, but to no avail - his powers extended far beyond the capacity of the box, and while trapped in the sea he created the Deep Ones (of "A Shadow Over Innsmouth") to serve him. Eventually found by Jefferson and brought back to Rumpestiltskin during the duo's time working together (approximately not long before or after the events of "The Doctor" in Season 2, when Jefferson brings back the Wicked Witch's crystal ball from Oz and tells a young Regina of Dr. Frankenstein in an ettempt to bring Daniel back from the dead). Has been residing in Pandora's Box for some time, but with the box having been used so frequently - trapping Peter Pan, Rumpelstiltskin, and even Belle within at various periods of time - Cthulhu is ready to be released from his prison - and in the middle of Storybrooke, when the "final battle will begin" (a Rumpelstiltskin quote in "Pilot" shortly before the Evil Queen cast the Dark Curse).
