Maybe all the oil is actually their blood and we’re slowly killing them while destroying our planet.
Or just their poop. Imagine they invading human dreams, corrupt minds and create obscure cults pushing the industry just because they want someone to clean their underground latrines.

There’s this story in one mythos anthology, “Cthulhu Rising” by HEATHER GRAHAM. Where a group of people find themself suddenly alone on a cruise ship with all the crew missing and part of the docks covered in big patch of black oil fluids.

Turns out that a Shoggoth have eaten them all, digesting everything so quickly to leave behind only greasy oil.

We take on the dark contract with the old gods, gaining not only their power, but their damnation.
The black ichor that powers our corruption of the planet? Who could have known it was the blood of sleeping monster gods? It is also a truth that we made a sport that burns blood to go as fast as possible. Suck it gods.
