* ''[[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragons 3.5th Edition]]'' had Pale Night, an ancient demon/EldritchAbomination. She's apparently so evil that ''reality itself has to shield itself from her.'' Evil enough that her strongest attack is to show her face, instantly killing all but the strongest-willed, and even those that survive do so by not comprehending her true form.
** Shifters, from the ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'' campaign setting, have a small touch of lycanthrope heritage. For a brief time each day, they can "shift" into a slightly bestial but physically more powerful form.
** D&D also has a monster called a Krenshar that looks like a type of great cat, but it has very loose skin around its face. Thus, when it wants to scare off predators, is ''turns its face inside out''.

Most obyriths are [[BrownNoteBeing creatures so horrifically alien that they cause mental trauma to everything around them]], but Pale Night looks like a type of great cat, but female humanoid figure wrapped in a white sheet constantly blowing in a spectral breeze, ''almost'' revealing what's beneath it.
