Really? I think they would be absolutely TERRIFIED by an Eldritch Abomination.
Why? They're a massive empire of immortal planet killing parasites who have the power to project military force across multiple galaxies and enough bodies to occupy them.
They've been shown to have the means to warp space and even travel through time.

It would be interesting to see what kind of powerful opposition caused the Gempire to have such an emphasis on military and warrior culture. If most species they encounter are like humans, they don't need quartz soldiers to steamroll them.
The lack of mixing between Gem and Human casts appears to be about to be shattered big time.
An Eldritch Abomination would terrify the Gempire as much as anyone else. Gems, behind the gimmicky quirks, are tremendously human, so what scares us would scare them. The problem is that we have about a century of experience imagining EA, so it takes a lot to even mildly impress or unsettle us, let alone terrify us. Lore doesn't drive you mad, it just makes you jaded. Cthulhu is a joke. The Cenobites are ridiculous. The God Hand... are legitimately worrying, but not that impressive once you get used to them. By contrast, Griffith, like Johan, isn't terrifying because he's ugly, but because he's a beautiful Complete Monster with a mind that we haven't figured out.
And then there's Aku. Aku's terror comes from how off and strange and ridiculous his mind is. We know that he's evil and cowardly, but it's anyone's guess what he'll do next, and he's extremely powerful.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.Honestly,even without their quirks they still aren't even remotely human,they are inorganic,what could possibly scare something that's immortal and invincible to everything except physical force?
I suppose though they could have fear of being shattered in a similar humans fear dying
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverCthulhu (along with other EA) are really only jokes because media often portrays them as just ugly monsters - when that's really not it. Trying to comprehend a "properly" written eldritch horror would be like an ant trying to comprehend humans - human intelligence, human emotions, human society, and human motivation.
