Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror
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.

Maybe all the oil is actually their blood and we're slowly killing them while destroying our planet.
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.
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 dock 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.
