[who me]

I was going to say Jabberwocky but the Jabberwocky has a Tale.

[Boikat]

is it from a fairy tale ?
No.

is it from a children's book ?
No.

(Check the "additional hint" in the previous post. "Science fiction/horror" genra.)

I was going to say Jabberwocky but the Jabberwocky has a Tale.

The Jabberwoky is not asleep. It is an dead Jabberwocky. It lost it's head during a chance encounter with a brash youth with a sword with little regards to the importance of a top predator in and ecosystem. Now, the slitytroves have gone through a population explosion, and threaten to wipe out the feeding grounds of the monewraths. But, I digress....

IT sleeps in a deep, warm, dark place (Genra-wise, origin is from "science fiction/horror")

No: PATD character, dragon, Demon, from classical mythology, has tail, from a fantasy novel from a fairy tale, from a childrens book.

Sort of:

Yes: Fictional, animal (not veg or mineral), make believe animal (For the broad definition of "animal").

[who me]

"science fiction/horror" is not really my strong point.

that is humor not horror.

[Merle]

An oldie but a goodie: does IT begin with the letter "C"?

Has IT been depicted in a movie?

that is humor not horror.

And, it is also not from the HGtG.

No.

An oldie but a goodie: does IT begin with the letter "C"?
Yes. Yes it does. (Merle is on to something!)

Has IT been depicted in a movie?
I'll give that a "Sort of", since only one real movie has been made, though it was not released in theaters, only in ertsy-fertsy film fests, and a lot of YouTube shorts and pretend "Movie trailers".

[who me]

cthulhu ?
I'm not sure its warm there where ever cthulhu sleeps but worth a guess.

[Boikat]

Yes, IT is Cthulhu!

I took this (from Wiki), "malevolent entity trapped in an underwater city in the South Pacific called R'lyeh" to mean "warm".

All together, now:

"In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."

[who me]

Oh...I have IT. wanders around and wonders what to do with it.

[Boikat]

Is IT a pocket full of lint?

Is IT Q's yellow motercycle?

[who me]

you know I have both, but I was not thinking of that.

more of a very famous drink no one has actualy had.

[Boikat]

Is IT a Pan-Galactic-Gargle-Blaster?

[Merle]

Does IT begin with C?

Is IT the prize of winning this game?
