In the book about Innsmouth the deep ones annihilate the island natives who had been trading with them at first because they told the secret to what's his fish. Or.. I'm pretty sure, anyway. The founder of Innsmouth. They've always been monsters worthy of taking down, I think.
Attacking the Deep Ones
Share
100,000 years ago on the East African coast, the huntress Ekan’e and her tame saber-toothed Megantereon Orru ambush a marauding party of Deep Ones, determined to prevent them from abducting any more of her kind for sacrifice to their horrible deities known as the Great Old Ones. Can our Paleolithic heroine and her feline companion vanquish these vicious fish-beasts?
This is an illustration I did for one of my short stories. The Deep Ones are one of the creatures the horror author H.P. Lovecraft created for his Cthulhu Mythos, being a race of sapient and amphibious fish that are biologically immortal and have built various undersea cities. In Lovecraft’s stories, they have a habit of interbreeding with humans, but I wanted them to be more dangerous by abducting them and sacrificing them to their gods. They’re now the kind of monsters you want to see taken down!

I've read that book recently, and I believe it was another group of islanders that wiped them out, not the Deep Ones themselves. But thanks anyway.
