There was once "one world," Middle-earth. It was created by a simple writer, Tolkien, who had a good understanding of folklore. In a mysterious way, it was his reinterpretation of the classics that became the foundation for the modern understanding of the fantasy genre and the races that inhabit it...
And there were also several works about vampires, which became the basis for both the monstrous appearance of vampires and the handsome vampires...
And Lovecraft created a specific genre of horror and a specific design for chthonic monsters. And he is unique. The mythical kraken is in no way similar to the kraken from Heroes 7. They are fundamentally different. Because in the seventh game, it is precisely Lovecraft's design, while the classic kraken is a large octopus. Therefore, Pirates of the Caribbean has nothing to do with Lovecraft, but the Skyrim DLC is related to him.
The moral of the story is: in most cases, there are indeed specific people with specific works that served as inspiration...
