  I think this description is quite evocative:

  "How to describe these grotesque mockeries of natural law? There are no
words that can encompass such disgusting foulness, not in English or any
other human tongue. They are The Other. The Inconceivable. Alien beyond
comprehension, their sole existence is an affront to all reason. We could
speak of painfully dissonant noises and nauseating colours, ichor-dripping
vermiform tentacles and abyssal yonic voids, or complex mathematical
geometries, but those are mere superficialities. Monstrous and sick though
these stigmata are, they do not define the abominations; they are merely
among some of the more common symptoms of their underlying wrongness.
They are the things that should not be, the ultimate aliens. It is this
what makes them abominable, and it is this that horrifies and reduces to
gibbering madness all but the strongest of those who encounter them."
