I knew what it meant. It means of the earth. A 'Chthonic' being is one who manipulates from beneath the earth, specific to the Titans in Greek mythology. That's where Lovecraft got his idea of the Old Gods and especially Chthulu from.
I did not know that in zoology/astronomy it refered a being originally from a planet.
Remember, the truer mark of intelligence is stating your views and knowledge in an understandable way, rather than using big specialized words.
