H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Cthulhu, Baphomet... who's the 3rd one?

I think the one in the middle is Shub-Niggurath, "The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young".

Hand gesture is slightly off, but still getting a Baphomet vibe:
