This is a series of Tables for quickly generating a suitably weird appearance for a  Random Horror/Demon/Outsider.  For statistics, please check out the Outsider Megapost.

For further reading, you can read my post on Gentle Beasts (though its a bit outdated, see above link), or for a slightly different yet similar take, check out Iron and Ink's Superstitions and Monsters.
