What are some good games that have cool eldritch monster.

Note: by eldritch/lovecraftian i don't mean "hurr durr many tentacles". For me creatures in Made in Abyss and Duel Masters(not Yu-Gi-Oh!) are what i consider to be lovecraftian.

Alternatively, you can also suggest games with eldritch locations/geography like the ones in Made in Abyss

Why not Yugioh?

Library of Ruina has some pretty cool looking Abnormalities / Distortions imo.

Dragon's Dogma has a fantastic bestiary, some of which I'd class as Eldritch.

Fear & Hunger has some pretty horrific enemy designs. I particularly found the Sylvian and Traces of Gro-Goroth to be really cool looking. Very lovecraftian-inspired but without the cliche'd "oh my god tentacles, I'm losing my mind" thing.
Warning for those who don't know about it, that game contains some very very dark, graphic, and disturbing content. Keep that in mind if you want to look it up.

The first thing I thought of was the Eldrazi from Magic The Gathering. You need to look for the specific collections though.

Library of Ruina didn't strike as "monsterish" as i wanted. It felt more SCPish rather than Nat Geo
>Why not Yu-Gi-Oh!
Because the creatures there are drawn in a traditional look. Blue Eyes what dragon doesn't look as "wtf is that!". It's not filled to brim with indescribable/eldritch creatures. Pic related is a normal "tree" in Duel Mastersimages - 2022-09-02T194725.749.jpeg

And this is a "beetle"

For me they felt more like a traditional fantasy monster. Yes even the totally-not-dungeons&dragon's-Beholder

Im not going for silent hill-esque "grotesque" im going for, you know that last creature that Reg and his group saw as they went down the elevator in the Made in Abyss manga after Bondrewd? That type. Make it completely alien.
