Eldritch. It would look eldritch.
Or noisome. I’m sure that would apply, too, although I don’t think things can look noisome. But if it’s non-standard geometry, it’s entirely possible that angles can smell.
There’s an old jazz saying “If you have to ask, the answer would shatter your mind and reduce you to a gibbering wreck.”
Did you ever see the “Real Ghostbusters” cartoon in the eighties? If so, which of the multiple episodes dealing with the nythos did you enjoy the most?
Have you eaten at the Yuggoth Pizzeria. Their mushroom pizza is just out of this world !
OTTOMH, I can only remember one episode “The Collect Call Of Cthulhu”. It had eldritch horrors. It had the Necronomicon. It even had pulp magazines. My only problem with it was that, for reasons I still cannot understand, they made Cthulhu bright red.
IIRC
“He makes Gozer look like little molly sunshine.”
“You’re such a pollyanna, Egon.”
“Acolyte creatures who serve the big guy.”
The story Ray relies on for knowledge of how to defeat Cthulhu was entitled “Horror From The Depths”
Paul Din wrote that episode. I understand he works on Babylon 5, which was a show which had creature from befor the dawn of time, and squid heade aliens.

If I believed in this Mythos stuff, I’d hire Conan.
Then you might check out this. It’s just another word for “mythology”.
The Cimmerian or the talk show host?
So, how did you come to learn about the Old Ones? Where you “saved” during a Campus Crusade for Cthulhu?
Yes, I really do. Everything exists somewhere, and so somewhere out there, there’s a Mythos universe.
Anything is possible in an infinite universe, even the destruction of all universes by he who has died, and yet lays dreaming.
Barbarian. He was always kicking hell out of some eldritch horror from beyond time and space. He’d knock off two, sometimes three ancient horrors and their entire Evil Wizard Death Cults before lunch some days.
It’s funny, you know. I first found the SDMB back in '99 through a reference in my old copy of Unaussprechlichen Brettanzeigen.
I don’t think traveling between universes is possible. And even if it is, I sure as hell wouldn’t want to go there.
That may be true, but they don’t like you.
Oh, please. The Big Squid is small fry. I have serious doubts that even Nyarlathotep or Yog-Sothoth can reach out from wherever they are and touch us, over here.
Over here? “The Big Squid” as you so dismissively called him is right on this earth. You have better show some respect, or you will not be among those eaten first. You could find out more about it here, or at least you could if those upstart worshippers of new gods weren’t being such little brats.
Yog-Sothoth is the gate. He is the key to the gate. He is the One-In-All and All-In-One.
He smites His enemies.
He causes weeping & lamentations.
He slices.
He dices.
He julienne fries.
He is one baaad mutha-fu… Shut yo mouth!
I’m just talkin’ 'bout Yog-Sothoth. Well, we can dig it.
