How can i make this monster even creepier aesthetically?
Monster is 9ft tall, two long lanky arms, a cloak to hide most of its body and its face, when you try to look at its eyes you see the outline of a jaw and a red eye. its skin can camouflage to its surroundings.
thats the description i have written for myself for its visuals.
the players were introduced to it like this "You see it hunched over, hiding behind a tree, peering the other direction towards your camp" the player tried attacking it and missed "the being jumps out of the way your strike and to your position in the blink of an eye, it stands up and is now lumbering over you, two lanky arms come out from under the cloak the skin looks grey and dead, and as you try to look it in the eyes all you see is a piercing red glow"
other creepy things it has proceeded to do as they've encountered it include - climbing on any surface - jump good - when it lands it lands like a feather not damaging the ground - chop off its own hand to lure them towards it - attack without turning its body or looking at them - when they touch it they feel super cold
What else can i do to add to this things creep level? the players have already said theyre scared as balls so far but now theyre about to chase it down to retrieve their ally and i wanna add more.
the creatures type and everything is made up 100% so anything goes for more creep.
Make it kind to children. Never answer why it is giving them gifts. It has its own purpose and motivations.

>Ear canals pop from pressure of just looking at it >The red eye is just to intimidate, in reality it's other senses are more keen >You feel oddly allured by it despite your unease >It is completely silent, COMPLETELY. You think you hear rustling in the bushes? Guess again it's nothing. You hear a stick crack behind you? Nope. You hear absolutely nothing, as if it seems to *suck* up noise near it. You can only tell it's there when there's literally nothing you can hear, not even your own breathing.
Feel free to pick and choose. That last one could even be used as a plot device for why you can't hear someone, or others notice that it's too quiet.

Oh shit, almost forgot classic of body horror: >It's body moves more like a snake than a humanoid. Every part of it that can vend, can bend almost freely. This thing could practically snap it's own back backwards to look at you behind it

Stubby barney arms that he can extend into lankosaurus mode.
bright purple all over.
Dick is a snapping turtle.
Can absorb stilling living people into it who are stuck on its skin as faces that can still think, see and reason and speak.

>Dick is a snapping turtle.
That's half hilarious, half the most terrifying thing ever.

Give it some contrast.
It leaves gifts for the players sometimes. The note, written in its own blood, says it noticed that they were missing X item or could do with this and that. Things that really help, as well as dead birds and other hunted, mangled food. Said gifts relate to moments where the players weren't facing it.
>Dick is a snapping turtle. That's worse than the rattlesnake penises of aztec skeleton demons.
