That was kinda my thought too, “How would I describe something that is so foreign to anything I’ve ever experienced that I’m entirely overwhelmed by the sheer realization of it’s existence. So much so that I can only describe the fear felt when seeing it?” The focus would first be on primal instincts before your brain could even begin with physical characteristics.
There’s an interesting generative experiment somewhere out there on the net that lets you generate “scary” images by progressively rating the output, it’s a neat tool, some of what it makes can mimic that horror, lol.
I’ve been looking but I am sorry to say the market has expanded significantly since the last time I messed around with the tool and now I can’t even tell if the tool exists as it did or has been reformatted into one unfamiliar. You have my deepest apologies.
Bam. Spot on. That makes for great storytelling. There’s even a sanity mechanic.

I have no interest in interacting with the “Phobiafinder 5000”. 😀
Oh, I’d be very interested in that if you can point me in any sort of direction.
