The fact that some other Great Old Ones also appear to have "follower races" (such as Dagon, who is worshipped by the Deep Ones, for example) could possibly support this. Appearances - At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft (do not really appear, but are described in the art works of the Elder Things)
