Eldritch Being

"The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but ‘between’ them, They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen."

- H. P. Lovecraft, "The Dunwich Horror".

A term popularized by the Cthulhu Mythos, the word "eldritch" means something like "coming from a foreign realm". These beings are the strangest the universe has to offer; even for alien standards they're otherworldly. They are usually extremely powerful and typically display inexplicable and supernatural abilities.

They may manifest themselves either corporeally or noncorporeally. In some cases, their physical manifestations constitute a mere shadow of what they truly are, and they may have several avatars.

Often, beings such as these tend to be neutral towards lesser life forms, but they might be extremely malevolent and pure evil (e.g. Nyarlathotep, It, the Great Intelligence, Mind Flayer, Eihort and Y'golonac), or in rare cases they might be friendly (e.g. Mr. Nobody).

Examples
"It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter."

- William Dyer describing a Shoggoth.

Keep in mind that all examples are, at least to some extent, subjective, as there's no clear line between "eldritch" and simply "alien". The idea of what qualifies as an "eldritch being" ought to vary from person to person.
