Where Stock Superpowers make reality cry and sometimes meet Body Horror.
Usually, when you gain some special ability, it will manifest in some fairly conventional forms. Energy blasts, Psychic Powers, steel skin, control over different forms of matter and varieties of Functional Magic are all relatively common. Despite how fantastic some of these abilities may be, there is usually an underlying science or logic and at the least it seems normal or standard in the story's setting.
And then there are Lovecraftian superpowers. Now what makes abilities Lovecraftian can vary greatly but for an ability to be Lovecraftian, it usually falls under a few general rules:
The power in question is used by the bad guys. If the power is used by one of the good guys, the power is shown to be bad or harmful in some way, be it to themselves, others, or the universe in general.
The ability or power must be unique and/or abnormal. It is usually a power that is either not possessed by more than one person, rare, or functions in a fashion that separates it from other standard yet similar abilities. An example would be if the ability to phase through matter by slipping their molecules through an object as a common ability versus someone who can phase partially out of sync with reality to move through obstacles. Both have the same result, but one is rarer and functions in a different way.
The way the character gains the power is usually disturbing, horrible, or unpleasant. While it may not be the process of gaining the power (as some characters are born with their power), the implications and circumstances surrounding the origins of the ability are almost always anything but nice.
The powers themselves may or may not produce strange side effects on the user. It usually varies and depends on how the user gains his powers, the user himself or the very nature of the powers themselves. Side effects may range from small to gigantic. For example, the user could develop a dark side if the source of his powers is malevolent in nature (like Black Magic, for example).
The powers may or may not require specific criteria to be fulfilled in order to be gained. A price, so to speak. For example, a dark sacrificial ritual must be performed to summon a god that may grant said powers. Another good example would be to make a literal deal with a demon so that he can give you powers at the cost of your soul.
The powers may or may not be hard to control (at first, at least). This makes sense. After all, the user's powers are eldritch and alien in nature, so not only are they hard to understand, but also, nobody's really sure how they work, including the user, which will obviously make it hard for him to use them correctly. Maybe he'll destroy something he doesn't want to destroy by accident? Maybe his powers will have unexpected side-effects on whoever or whatever he uses them on? Maybe his powers will change and become different as time goes on?
The last but most important rule is that the ability must clearly be unnatural or deviant in some way. Generally speaking, this means that the ability must in some way go against the internal logic of the story and what should or should not be possible. Emphasis on the word should because since the ability exists, it's not impossible, just... wrong somehow.
While the most obvious way a power could be abnormal is if it bends, breaks, or flat-out ignores the laws of science and nature, it may be more subtle. Obviously, being able to bend space would be Lovecraftian but being able to invade someone's dreams would count as well.
For the less lucky, however, such new talents will have a disturbing biological component. They find themselves able to sprout thrashing razor-tipped tentacles, drool highly corrosive acid saliva, or extrude venomous thorns from their flesh. Alas, for these people have been Blessed with Sucknote or Cursed with Awesome and granted a squick-tastic Lovecraftian Superpower.
The important thing to remember is that it doesn't matter whether the abilities have a body horror element to them. While this is the most common and obvious version of a Lovecraftian Superpower, keep in mind the definition of the word "Eldritch" (a word H. P. Lovecraft seemed to love so much he used it almost like a form of punctuation). Any superpower or ability fitting the definition of eldritch — uncanny, unearthly, weird; not existing in nature or subject to explanation according to natural laws — is a Lovecraftian Superpower. In a setting where magic is unnatural (you can only get it by screwing with stuff you really shouldn't), magic would be Lovecraftian. If magic is normal to the setting, then Black Magic would count as Lovecraftian. Anything supernatural in the setting that would make even the wisest and most sagacious guru say "Holy S#@&! That ain't right!" would count.
Lovecraftian powers generally come in three seperate flavors:
Non-Physically Affecting, Horrible Perverting of Nature: This version is when the power or ability has no physical component but what it does and how it works is horrifying Squick and in defiance of nature — for example, gaining the abilities of others by eating their brains or their souls, or being able to warp, twist, and shape living organic matter like a perverse sculpter with the resulting monstrosity still alive and begging for death.
Physically Affecting, Non-Perverting of Nature: The power involves a temporary or permanent shift/change of the physical form that would make most people crap themselves in terror or make them claw their eyes out. Usually, the shape taken has grotesque features like Eyes Do Not Belong There or Too Many Mouths. It could include growing tentacles or claws. The user might develop chitinous armor or become an amorphous blob.
Both of the Above: For the last one, God help your enemies, allies or even the universe. This is a combination of the two whereby the user can twist the laws of nature around them along with their own shape. Very common among those who are an Evil Sorcerer or Wicked Witch. Not only can they use Black Magic, which itself is wrong and in defiance of the natural order, they can also become a monstrosity as from the bowels of hell itself.
The name originates from classic scifi/horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, whose characteristic creations often seem equal parts Nightmare Fuel and biology textbook.
A Sub-Trope of Bad Powers, Bad People (usually), possibly because Magic Is Evil. Alternatively, this can overlap with Bad Powers, Good People, though less frequently. May be a useful side-effect of The Virus or The Corruption. Often manifests as Combat Tentacles, cannibalistic and horrific Shapeshifting (sometimes partial shapeshifting), Bloody Murder, or a Bee-Bee Gun, and is likely not quite controllable. Can overlap with One-Winged Angel, Power-Upgrading Deformation and Shapeshifter Mashup, Spider Limbs and, on a sillier note, Fartillery. Related to Eldritch Transformation, which is often one-and-done and involuntary by comparison.

Pale: Horrors are magical Others whose bodies have been turned into an Eldritch Location, being copied, divided, multiplied, and folded in on themselves, all without the victim dying. The Kim family has learned how to control the process, and their family Practice involves intentionally Horrifying themselves in certain ways, leading to things like distorting their bodies, growing extra limbs, or creating copies of themselves.

Worm:
Night (of the villain duo Night And Fog) turns into... something incomprehensible, fast and super strong as long as nobody can see her.
The effect Rachel has on her dogs counts as this as well.
Echidna definitely counts. She absorbs any dead tissue she encounters into her body, which has accumulated over years into a massive amalgamation of jumbled body parts below her waist. When she comes into contact with something that's still alive she can create copies of it that are always distinctly wrong in some way, and homicidally insane to boot. And if she copies a parahuman, the clone will have their powers or a similar variation on them.

The Black Beast from The Missing Worlds falls under this. He used to be a human warrior who was given a blessing by his priestess: With each person he killed, he would become stronger. When he passed the limits of strength a human body could support, he began to morph into something monstrous (implied to resemble the Minotaur). Then a mob of angry villagers killed his Morality Chain. By the end of his Roaring Rampage of Revenge, he wasn't even remotely humanoid.

Samurai Jack: Aku inherited it from the Black Mass. Any kind of body horror, physical manipulation, shapeshifting, and dark magic is at his disposal as he is the embodiment of evil. The bit of himself he gave to the Cult of Aku, when drunk by the High Priestess, caused her to become pregnant and give birth to seven daughters, all of which carried Aku's essence inside him. Aku is able to take direct control of them and, by adding some more of his power, turn them into Humanoid Abominations.

All ghouls in Tokyo Ghoul have this to some degree. Their defining trait is the ability to explosively expel a blood-like cellular structure from holes ripped in their back, forming them into a variety of extra body parts such as tentacles or razor wings. More powerful ghouls take it to an even greater extreme, being capable of gruesomely putting themselves back together when sliced, diced, disemboweled, or blown apart. Then there are the Kakuja, ghouls that have mutated as a result of serial cannibalism — sprouting protective shells or fleshy armor, and generally being driven completely insane by their own powers. The One-Eyed Owl, in particular, displays the ability to form a giant flesh mecha with numerous chattering mouths that carry on disjointed conversations with each other. The Owl explains to a helpless victim that the form a kagune can take is limited only by the user's intelligence and imagination. And few people are as intelligent and creative as a bestselling author specializing in psychological horror.

In Ranma ½ the character of Pantyhose (yes, really) Tarou is bad enough with his ability to turn into a giant Bull/Yeti-Thing in his first appearance. Just to show how badass (or Jerkass more like) he is, he goes and mutates his body more to add tentacles. Obviously, this is form is based on the ushi-oni of Japanese myth, but that doesn't make it any less freaky.

Imperfect Metamorphosis:
The resident Blob Monster qualifies. Rin Satsuki was just a young Kirin with an interesting native power, and gained the power to absorb other people and use their abilities in turn, thanks to Eirin's experiments. At the cost of her own body. It goes without saying that she really doesn't take that well.
In the same fanfic, Yuuka Kazami is capable of shapeshifting her own body into all kinds of horrid, twisted forms, all with a floral theme. This isn't just vine tentacles and root claws either. She can actually turn herself into Kaiju-sized plant monstrosities and weaponize every single part of her body. This power of Yuuka is justified in that she's actually an Elder God, albeit a very weakened one.

X-Men:
Predating the Spike below the even more Lovecraftian Marrow, whose bone growths were originally uncontrollable, random, and disfiguring. She would tear them out periodically to use as melee weapons, healing the wounds left behind with her Healing Factor.
As well as the rest of The Morlocks living in the sewers. Their powers come with varying degrees of deformity built in, often quite hideous in nature. Hence their living in the sewers; they're so obviously mutated that they can't blend in with normal humans.
And then there's Tusk, who predates Marrow but is fairly similar... except that he also has pods on his back from which he can spawn Mini-Me versions of himself.
A one-shot Morlock is named MeMe. He absorbs people into himself physically to get bigger and stronger; at any given point, screaming humans melted into him and each other will be wriggling around on his body, with the limbs and faces of his less-intact victims jutting out every which way. As they shift and more are added, he never looks exactly the same in any two panels.
A former X-Man with the charming name of Maggott had two parasitic slugs that crawled out of his belly and could eat anything. He spent most of his childhood nearly starving to death until his primary digestive system (the slugs) emerged.
Johnny Dee of the 198 isn't a mutant, but his internalized parasitic twin is. It extends poison tentacles from his gut and makes mind-controlling zombie dolls of anyone whose DNA it eats.

Bleach:
The 9th Espada, Aaroniero Arruruerie's Resurrección form turns him into a gigantic Eldritch Abomination-like tentacled mass, with the upper half of his still human-sized humanoid body on top of it. It allows him to manifest the abilities of all the Hollows he has consumed (not that he gets to show it off).
During his final fight against Ichigo, Aizen gets a gruesome transformation with the skin of his face splitting in half. As a sample of his new power, he can launch highly destructive spheres of reishi from skulls sitting at the tip of his wings (which have large eyes on them, by the way), and his high-speed regeneration manifests as his body literally pulling itself back together.
Pernida Parnkgjas is Lovecraftian horror incarnate by virtue of being the Soul King's left arm:
Its Schrift, The Compulsory, allows it to extend its nerves and use them to gain control of the bodies of its opponents in order to crush them, twist them or simply tear them to shreds. It makes quick work of Kenpachi by crushing his arm and legs without breaking a sweat, and is only stopped from turning him into Ludicrous Gibs thanks to Mayuri splashing acid on its nerves. This ability affects inorganic matter, too: by embedding its nerves on the ground, Pernida is able to manipulate the environment.
Its true power, at its core, is the very concept of evolution: this ranges from absorbing traits of consumed enemies (or even those it has simply touched with its nerves) to complete control over its own anatomy, to the point that even if it were torn to shreds, each of its fragments would retain sentience. At one point Pernida rips off several of its own fingers, each of which quickly regenerates into a fully grown copy of itself. Even Mayuri, who is rather infamous for always having or coming up with a counter for any opponent he faces, has trouble just staying alive while repeatedly failing to damage Pernida in a way that matters, and is ultimately able to kill it by essentially giving it an obscenely powerful form of cancer that kills it before it has the time to adapt.

Saki of Sin and Punishment, as a result of absorbing Achi's blood (she turns out to be an Eldritch Abomination, incidentally), gains the ability to transform into a really scary-looking Kaiju that can teleport, shoot giant lasers out of its claws, and grow to such immense size that it is fully capable of battling entire planets. As long as he's paired with Airan, he can control it. If not... it's not pretty. After it activates, even in his human form, he has disturbing looking patches of alien flesh on his body.

Tails of all people gets one of these in Sonic X: Dark Chaos after getting infected with Shroud parasites, complete with tremendous amounts of Body Horror. Among the highlights of his first transformation is his semen turning solid and slithering across the floor - before wrapping around him and hardening like body armor. Later on as he manages to take control of the Shroud inside him, he finds that he can do things like move his eyes out of their sockets and look around, grow his fingers into flensing claws, fire shards of his own bones from his wrists, and eventually fuse himself to the X-Tornado by connecting his nerves with its controls. Though all of his friends are utterly horrified and disgusted by his new powers, Tails thinks it's the most awesome thing ever.

In the Glorantha setting of RuneQuest, Chaos Features (powers granted by exposure to "primal Chaos") often have a physical side effect like this—But some folks get Chaos Flaws instead, all side effect and no power.

The eponymous Thing from both the 1982 and 2011 movies usually takes pains to hide itself as those it absorbed... but once discovered or when thinking it's possessing the advantage, the fangs, claws, Combat Tentacles, etc. burst out every which way to kill and infest any nearby lifeform it can.

In Animal Man (2011), Buddy Baker becomes infused with more power from the Red (the metaphysical manifestation of the Animal Kingdom, and the animal equivalent to the Green from Swamp Thing), and his power to use animal abilities is morphed into actually physically manifesting animal characteristics. These transformations are visceral and not pleasant to look at.

Hemlock Grove: Christina chooses to become a werewolf, by drinking from a werewolf's paw-print. Unlike natural werewolves, this character can change at will, not just when the moon is full—but also unlike natural werewolves, the character can't control the wolf's bloodlust. The character also shows physical manifestations even in human form, like hair gradually turning white with each change.

The Pillar Men from Battle Tendency take Master of Your Domain to Body Horror incarnate. Specific powers vary depending on the person, but they're all shown to be able to contort their bodies far beyond anything the most flexible, double-jointed human could even hope to do, and even crush their own skeletons into dust to slip through tiny spaces (fortunately, they also have an extremely powerful Healing Factor to undo it) and can effortlessly absorb any living thing into their bodies simply by touching them. More specific powers include burrowing inside other people's bodies and controlling them, extending their ribcages to impale opponents, sprouting chainsaw arm blades, rotating their arms like drills fast enough to create powerful whirlwinds and firing Razor Wind from holes in their bodies, and prehensile blood vessels that can inject literally boiling hot blood into people. When one Pillar Man is seemingly killed, his brain is able to escape his body and seize control of another person and when their leader, Kars, is transformed by the Stone Mask, he gains Complete Immortality and the power to transform any part of his body into any animal, even when said parts aren't connected to his body (for example, he grows bird wings and fires razor sharp feathers at Joseph. The feathers then transform into piranhas to continue attacking him).

In one of the Heroes online novels, one man's superpower was to involuntarily grow spikes; he accidentally killed his wife this way, and then everyone in the van he was being transported to prison in (except for a guard who could turn into liquid).
And then, of course, there's volume 3 Mohinder, who uses his own serum to grant himself Spider Man-style powers, with the side-effect of growing scales over his skin.
Maya could cry toxic tears.
In another graphic novel, there was a character who breathed out chlorine gas instead of carbon dioxide.

A feature of The Dreadful Secrets of Candlewick Manor, a supplement for Monsters and Other Childish Things. The more powers you have, the more creepy other people find you and the less you can pass for normal. (In the original game, you have a mon companion. In Candlewick Manor, you have an eerie power which (usually) manifests physically, or else mentally or psychically.)

Shino and the Aburame clan in Naruto turn their bodies into living hives for their Kikkai insects, but are portrayed much more sympathetically, and with only a few tiny holes in their cheeks as the only visible indicator of their trait (they wear rather concealing clothing, so any further changes are unseen).
The Omake at the end of Shippuden episode 110 strongly implies that his eyes are empty sockets.
His eyes are seen from the side◊ in episode 149 of Part I. The manga says nothing either way.
Heck, a lot of ninjas are like this. Kimimaro's blood limit is to weaponize his bones stands out as pretty freaky. But then there is any ninja who can use the 2nd level of the curse seal, that transforms their body into some monstrosity. Or Juugo, the original source of the curse seal, whose abilities are basically shifting his body into whatever the situation at hand calls for. Kakuzu passes into this territory as well, given that he is partially made of freely-controllable string and artificially extends his life by using his opponents like organ banks whenever something grows too old to work, plus there's those... things that he can create out of the string.
Orochimaru transformed himself into a humanoid snake-like being who can extend his body to bizarre lengths (including his neck and tongue), puke swords, eat large objects, body surf and do other nightmarish things. Also, his real form is a big snake made of other snakes with his human head on the end.
The ninja Pain has a lot of these. First of all, his ability to posses and use the bodies of dead people as if they were his own. Next, each body has its own unique ability. The Shurando body that Pain uses can read peoples minds by ripping out their souls which can kill them. The Jingokudo body can summon the king of hell which is a large demonic head that uses mouth tentacles to connect to a living person and if they lie, their life-force is drained and the target dies. The real big one is Gedo or "Outer Path" which allows Pain to not only manipulate the forces of life and death by resurrecting people, but he can resurrect thousands of people at once.

Borderlands 2's Krieg is a raging berserker whose entire powerset revolves around these. He can light himself on fire for significant power-ups, goes into a frenzy as he spills his enemies' blood, and grows more powerful from his own pain. When backed into a corner he can transform into a monstrous Super Mode that allows him to go on a near-unstoppable rampage. Even his basic playstyle, which revolves around esposing yourself to as much danger as possible and getting right up in the enemy's face, is completely unlike any other charater. He's easily the most bizarre PC in the series.

Black Mage of 8-Bit Theater is strongly implied to be a walking Body Horror (besides repeated jokes that he is short, fat, and doesn't bathe adequately, a glimpse at his unshrouded face is apparently enough to drive men to madness), and his Hadoken attack is powered by love. Which is to say, it sucks love out of the world and turns it into an energy beam of pure destruction. Black Mage is the only character shown to be able to use this attack (possibly due to his nature as the most evil thing in the world), and claims that the divorce rate doubles every time he uses it.

Guilty Gear: Zato-1 is an assassin who made a pact with a Forbidden Beast, a Shoggoth-like Living Shadow named Eddie. Eddie gives Zato a combo platter of fighting abilities: protective shadow skin on command, an Attack Reflector named Drunkard Shade, being able to conceal himself within his own shadow to disappear from view and instantaneously move around between shadows, limited flight, implied Blindfolded Vision, shaping shadow constructs into long solid blades and other weapons to attack at a distance, and conjuring shark-like shadow entities that fight independently of him. However making the pact with Eddie cost Zato greatly — he had to gouge out his own eyes and render himself blind to first bind Eddie to his will, and Eddie is continuing to ravage Zato mind, body and soul. Eddie eventually corrupts Zato and turns the man into a horrifying and ruthless cackling maniac, and then when he is killed at the hands of Millia Rage at the end of X, Eddie possesses his body and uses it as a puppet to continue attacking the living.

The Night Unfurls has some examples:
As a result of Shamuhaza's, er, "enhancements", the Black Dogs now have mutated Mooks that weaponise their Body Horror in a variety of ways, from suddenly sprouting Combat Tentacles, to distended jaws that can bite off someone's head in one go. Sure, they are Elite Mooks, but they don't get these abilities willingly, and they are not having a good time, at all.
Narratively speaking, Star Power is considered to be unnatural. Makes sense, for only those who delve into the Eldritch Truth can utilise it. It speaks volumes when even the most skilled of arcane/magic users, like Olga, Celestine, and Shamuhaza, are not shown to fire streams of starlight. Kyril, from his experience in Yharnam, states that he had seen a few creatures that are able to fire starlight, like the Celestial Emissary. Therefore, he deduced that something or someone related to the Healing Church's research had somehow ended up here.
The above is further supported in the remastered version. After Kyril uses A Call Beyond to overkill Vault, Olga's narration remarks that this starfire spell is not something she had in her repertoire, doubting whether Celestine would even have something like this in her arsenal.
Kyril is a justified example. Why else would he be able to sprout out mind-probing, mind-controlling tendrils out of his arm? And that's not getting to the full extent of what he can do. As for the origin? Well... he turned into a squid (to be precise, an infant great one) after punching out the Moon Presence before the series began. Fortunately, he is able to keep a human form and switch to his great one form with ease, except that would do terrible things to anyone and anything around him, so he's not going to do that.
Mind over Matter. Yes, moving things without lifting a finger. In another universe, say, a Superhero setting or a certain Sci-Fi setting, this would hardly count as "Lovecraftian"; in The Night Unfurls, a Dark Fantasy world of steel and magic, it's a different story: telekinesis is portrayed as uncanny due to averting Just Hit Him, it's not explained in any way regarding its mechanism, and so far, only one person/entity is confirmed to possess this power. No, it's not Kyril. That honour instead goes to Evetta, the Plain Doll herself.

Instead of goofy illustrations manifesting from a bright-golden paint, it manifests as an Ominous Obsidian Ooze that either turns into hostile Eldritch Abominations or does... something that renders anyone caught in it an Empty Shell.

From RWBY:
After losing her arm to Ruby's Silver Eyes, Cinder had it replaced with a Shadow Hand, a Grimm appendage resembling a black, skeletal arm that can stretch to physically impossible lengths, impale people with its claws, regenerate and steal Maiden powers. However, it is incredibly disturbing, since its regeneration looks nowhere near natural and is excruciatingly painful, it's soulless and thus can't be protected by aura, is steadily consuming more and more of Cinder's body, and appears to have its own consciousness.
Salem is able to use Grimm-like abilities to augment her magical abilities. She can stretch her arms, summon Grimm hands from portals to restrain others, and fire webs of black liquid to drag Yang towards her. When she moves at inhuman speeds, it's not by moving her body; she leans at a strange angle before zooming across the ground on a plume of black smoke. Her regeneration also seems to have become linked to this, as injuries reveal her body contains a mass of black ooze that reforms her body when regenerating.

Final Fantasy XI has this in Blue Mages and the backstory's precursor experiments toward creating the Blue Mage. The original experiments included grafting monstrous appendages and material to people, which gave them power but either drove them insane, or transformed them into flan (spell-casting blobs) or soulflayers (read: D&D's mindflayers with the serial numbers barely filed off). When they attempted to just graft a portion of a monster's magic and spirit to the experiments' subjects, they created the first viable blue mages, but even then, a Blue Mage gains their power from assimilating their opponents, and if pushed too far, carries the risk of becoming a soulflayer as well. Which invites the thought: just imagine how many players have unlocked Blue Mage on any given server...? In fact, their powers are so risky and their teammates so paranoid about that risk that it's said no blue mage has ever died of natural causes.

In Attack on Titan: The Titans. The more we learn, the more horrible it gets, starting with misshapen giants who mindlessly attack and eat humans and regenerate from everything except damage to a specific spot. Titans are actually humans who manifested the ability to form giant fleshy bodies around themselves from a serum formulated from spinal fluid. The normal titans seen are an intermediary step between humans and Titan Shifters — humans who have full control over their transformed state and pilot their giant fleshy bodies like the world's most horrifying Humongous Mecha — with the next step being eating a previous Shifter alive to inherit their power. Full Titan Shifters can also regenerate their human selves, partially transform, and have an ability unique to their Titan Power.

Of course Fallen Angels are very very good at convincing their hosts to give things up bit by bit, and the harsher among them basically end up Mind Rapeing their hosts after enough time (although others prefer Not Brainwashed partners who happily sell their soul for power). Regardless they have the ability to transform into a demonic form, which are often a bit disturbing, the best example being the one who transforms into a giant mutated praying mantis. That bleeds praying mantises.

The primary antagonists of Death Vigil are necromancers who shapeshift into and summon Eldritch Abominations that have freaky eyes, tentacles, and teeth. One of the characters on the protagonists' side is Mia, a girl who was bound to a Primordial, an elder Eldritch Abomination. She can assume her true, monstrous form to better battle necromancers and eat the horrors they summon.

Throw a rock at the SCP Foundation and you'll probably hit something of this nature.
For a specific example, SCP-040. A little girl who can manipulate organic matter which allows her to transform animals into hideous mutants that behave as her pets. She's allowed to keep three of them.
SCP-1119, a middle-aged man who absorbs human tissue into his body giving him added mass and organs. He doesn't like it. At all.
Sarkicists will often voluntarily give themselves these sort of powers.

Whateley Universe: A lot of Whateleyites have such powers, due to the Mythos nature of the universe, not to mention plain(!) old mutations.
Carmilla is literally a Humanoid Abomination: one of her grandparents is Shub-Niggurath, and on her mother's side, she's directly related to Cthulhu and the Deep Ones. And you thought your family was freaky. She's got the Combat Tentacles and weird shapeshifting down. In one story, she splits her face open to reveal what it looks like inside, and scares a superhero so bad he wets himself.
Tennyo's is subtle, but she's no longer remotely human due to channeling the spirit of an ancient construct designed to destroy (or eat) Great Old Ones, has (occasionally, when she's mad) anti-matter for blood, and even when her powers are negated, can inspire pants-crapping terror merely by making eye contact. Or Fey, who is the reincarnation of a GOO-level elven sorceress, and is supernaturally, mind-controllingly pretty, and can throw around spells that other mages can't even learn.
More mundanely, Tool (now Demona), who used to have a body in constant flux, which occasionally reacted to his impulses by sprouting erections all over!
Or any mage who decides to play around with GOO powers. Or any number of GSD sufferers, who have all manner of horribly inhuman transformations to contend with, up to and including And I Must Scream levels, like Puppet, whose blood is so horribly toxic it killed her, and she now lives by occasionally malfunctioning mad science. Or... well, most of the Thornies, actually. Or the Foob, who got Mythosed fighting off something we've yet to find out about, and turned into, essentially, a mini-Cthulhu, which dramatically enhanced his psychic powers, rendering him basically unable to tune out the mind-numbing horror people experience when they see his physical form. Whateley's pretty screwed up in places.

All of the Vigors in BioShock Infinite have shades of this, most notably Murder of Crows, which works similarly to Insect Swarm above and causes Booker's hands to sprout dark feathers and talons, and Undertow, a Mind over Matter-themed Vigor that causes Booker's forearms to develop cephalopod-like suckers.

Tiberius in Demonbane is a walking, immortal, perpetually rotting corpse. No matter how damaged he becomes, he can regenerate as long as his grimoire is intact (which he hides inside his soul, making it hard to get at). His methods of close combat involve using his intestines as tentacles or shooting his ribs like javelins.

The novel and webtoon Solo Leveling has the main character Sung Jin-Woo gain the power of the shadow monarch which gives him explicit control over the dead. He's effectively a Necromancer and can raise any magical being that has mana. But unlike the traditional version of a necromancer, he calls up the dead as shadows that have a physical presence but is also an example of Casting a Shadow as they can hide in people's shadows and he can see through their eyes. The Summons are also not just shells or shadows of the person they were but the actual souls and spirits of the original bound to Sung Jin-Woo and not only that but they find Happiness in Slavery as every shadow brought back by him is filled with the overwhelming desire to serve him and feels happiness simply by serving him.

In Robin (1993), Tim stumbles across a strange thing in the Appalachian mountains that can retain human form by linking itself to a human who in turn is granted immortality through regeneration while near them but loses their ability to speak and has their memories and sense of self altered. If their linked human is killed, they revert into a mass of fleshy tentacles interspersed with giant mouths and eyes and kill everyone around them until they form a new link and make a new human form for themselves.

X-Statix: The Spike's mutant ability allows him to fire bone spikes out of his body. His teammate Phat can fill himself up with extradimensional gunk, growing to grotesque proportions but increasing his strength and durability exponentially. One short-lived member of the team, Sluk (and when we say "short lived", we mean "he was already dead when his team was introduced"), has creepy tentacle things growing from his face and tentacular feet and hands. His teammates secretly hate him for a few reasons. One is that he's only handy in close combat situations and it's difficult to get him into the right spots a lot of the time. Another is that he isn't exactly Mr. Personality. Mostly, however, they don't like him because he just looks really, really weird.

Homestuck:
Rose Lalonde, after spending most of the early Acts communing with the Noble Circle of Horrorterrors, goes grimdark and gains a massive black aura that manifests as thorned tentacles.
After Rose's prototyping takes hold, all the game's enemies (including the Royalty of Derse) gain prehensile chest-tentacles. This is also a natural consequence of the prototyping of Glyb'golyb in the trolls' Session.

Resident Evil:
The Las Plagas parasites usually spawn such mutations in those they infect. Even villains who don't go full-on One-Winged Angel tend to have giant claws (Krauser) and Combat Tentacles (Saddler before fully transforming).
The T Virus usually just creates zombies, but properly treated, victims can be turned into boss monsters such as the Tyrant and the Nemesis. The point of the virus was to mass-produce these guys—the zombies and most everything else are the result of accidents.
The G Virus gives you a healing factor, claws and Combat Tentacles at the cost of your higher brain functions. You also end up degrading into a giant, cancerous mass over time. Lovely.
As Albert Wesker, who himself gained quite a few of these powers, revealed, this was the ultimate intention of the Uroburos plague; to transform select humans into superpowered monsters and kill all others.
Alexia in Resident Evil – Code: Veronica has similar superpowers as a result of the Veronica-T virus.
The specialized variant of the C-Virus can give one unique powers for each individual, with varying results though always having a downside in compensation.

Taylor/Starfield in Starry Eyes has one. Her superpower is to use the superpowers of various Lovecraftian entities by cutting off her skin (she can put it back). Aria, being a shoggoth, gets this the most (she’s the one with mouths and eyes in her tentacles), but Melody’s flight has been described as clawing at the air, and Rest is basically a living snowfall that eats sound.

Skyrim:
Peryite, the Daedric Prince of Pestilence and Tasks, offers a quest to kill the leader of a group of his rogue followers who have been "blessed" with a particular Mystical Plague. One of the effects of the plague gives the suffers a weaponized version of projectile vomiting. Before going rogue, Peryite intended to have these followers spread the plague to the entire world.
In the Dragonborn DLC, the Dragonborn has to defeat Evil Counterpart Big Bad Miraak, who also happens to be the champion of Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge and the only Daedric Prince who doesn't bother using A Form You Are Comfortable With (preferring to appear as a true Eldritch Abomination). After defeating Miraak, Mora proclaims the Dragonborn to be his new champion. He grants a set of tentacle-tastic armor, a staff and sword which wriggle and drip slime, and the unholy ability to summon pools of necrotic darkness, tentacles, and floating eyes.

And of course, there are Wolverine's claws, which are bone knives that slice through his forearms and hands every time they extend. Good Thing He Can Heal indeed. The comics and adaptations make no bones about the fact that having metal bonded to your skeleton and blades made of the stuff stuck into your arms is in fact not actually a good thing. Logan's healing factor is all that allowed him to survive having it done to him, and when deprived of it by power-dampening characters or tech, the adamantium in his body starts to poison him; he'd die without his powers. At least before the bone-claw Retcon, driving those claws through his forearms and out of the back of his hands without his healing factor is insanely agonizing — surgery-without-any-anesthesia agonizing because that's kinda what's happening—- to the point of being in real danger of having a heart attack on the spot. You're expected to kindly ignore all this when he loses his adamantium and writers who don't want to deprive him of his signature weapon say "Oh, he always had 'em, they were just covered with metal." We also learn just how damaging the presence of the adamantium was during this period, though: his healing and animal-based powers were in overdrive compared to how he normally is; apparently, the overwhelming majority of his mutant might is usually not available to him because it's busy keeping the deleterious effects of the adamantium in him at bay. Even after the bone-claw retcon, it's shown that popping the claws is still very painful. The first time he popped them in Origins, he screams in agony a moment later. By the present day, he's used to the pain. Also, when the bone-claw retcon was first introduced, Wolverine popped his bone claws a few days after Magneto had ripped the adamantium out of his skeleton, which in the process had overloaded his healing factor. Meaning that in addition to the extreme pain, he started bleeding profusely out of the holes his claws had just created in his hands. When his healing factor is functioning, the wounds from popping his claws just instantly close as soon as he retracted them. With it on the fritz for a while, he treated claws like giant piercings in his hands, and kept them extended for while every day until his body adapted to having six new holes on a permanent basis.

Soul Eater, being the kind of manga that it is, has several examples of this trope.
Crona has had all their blood drained and replaced with Black Blood - as a result they gained the ability to solidify their blood at will, making them near impossible to cut, as well as to control it even when it leaves their body. This means that even if you manage to wound Crona, their spilled drops of blood will just skewer you. This would be just a classic case of Bloody Murder if not for the fact that their blood also serves as the host for Ragnarok, a soul-eating liquid parasite that can manifest as a massive Humanoid Abomination sprouting out of Crona's spine, or as a pitch black longsword fashioned out of Crona's blood that screams constantly when Crona is fighting.
Snake Witch Medusa has her entire body completely stuffed full with writhing magical snakes. She can put these snakes into others' bodies as well through their mouths, where they will serve as a parasitic case of Animal Eye Spy and messily tear them apart from the inside out at her command. After she was killed by Dr. Stein during the Kishin's awakening, she managed to pull off a risky magic, turned into a snake and came back in the body of a little girl, whose body she invaded through the mouth in her snake form. Yeah, it's not pretty.
While less pronounced than the rest of the examples here, the witch Arachne has her entire body composed of millions upon millions of spiders.
Obviously, the Kishin Asura excels at this. Aside from carrying an aura of all-permeating madness that causes anyone near him to undergo horrifying hallucinations, he wears his own stretched-out skin as a scarf and can use it as Combat Tentacles. On top of that he can messily regurgitate a vajra (which he gained by eating his Demon Weapon alive) from his throat and use it to fire off a Breath Weapon. He can also regrow lost limbs entirely, a process which is agonizingly painful for him, but he simply doesn't care.

Corrupted spellcasters in The Banned and the Banished are linked to animals, but the link is always perverse in some way. The first in the series gives birth to man-eating spiders, and they scale up from there all the way to twins who grow pustules that explode into rats. The only one who initially avoids this transforms into any animal he wears the skin of, and he later skins and wears one of the protagonists.

Exalted has a fair number of horrors with these abilities. Chimera Knacks for Lunars, some of the freakier Yozi charms for Infernals, the Abyssals and their freaky undeath powers...and let's not even get into a discussion of the Wyld. (With the Broken-Winged Crane expansion, Infernals can even literally turn into a shoggoth.)
Voidtech Charms for the Alchemicals generally appear as a techno-Lovecraftian device made of equal parts rust, meat and scientific blasphemy.
3e Infernals are slated to get still more weird things; one example Devil-Body sees the Infernal grow dozens of feet tall, with their skin turning violet, disembodied limbs manifesting out of nowhere to orbit around them, and their face tearing away to reveal a black void of dying stars.

The Dark Triad in Black Clover have this theme. Each of them has an unsettling magic related to the body. Dante uses Body Magic to grotesquely regenerate his flesh to heal himself, Zenon uses Bone Magic that grows sharpened bones out of his body, and Vanica uses Blood Magic to congeal into different forms. Notably, these are their natural magics and unrelated to the magics of and granted by their devils, aside from their devils also giving said magics a boost.

PS238 has a minor character named Necronomik on Tyler's parents' Super Team. We don't really know his origin or power source, but it clearly has some Lovecraftian angle.

The various symbiotes may as well be parasitic shoggoths, capable of forming tentacles, spines, extra mouths, and other grotesque metamorphoses. Most noticeable is Carnage, a psychopathic serial killer whose symbiote tends to turn into a cloud of barbed tentacles whenever it feels like it. Also, the reason his suit is red is that it's made up of the Venom symbiote mixed with Cletus Kasady's blood. This is taken to its logical conclusion in Absolute Carnage, where Carnage connects to a primordial god of the abyss. His powers upgrade to brainwashing unwitting followers by having symbiotic maggots burrow into their skin and mutate them into multi-limbed symbiote creatures. Going from his old, already-creepy look to an eight-foot-tall skeleton wrapped in a symbiote doesn't help.

Redd has Esmerelda Bizarre, who pretty much has the works: Worships an Eldritch Abomination called the Flesh God, has thousands of tiny screaming faces of long-dead Human Resources sacrificed to him long ago on her arms, the ability to summon Combat Tentacles, Eyes That Do Not Belong There, More Teeth than the Osmond Family provided by Too Many Mouths, raising the dead, yadda yadda yadda... but she's a pretty nice girl! She's even a bit of Combat Medic at IBISEC.

In first edition, Sin-Eaters have the Caul Manifestation, allowing them to assume a whole range of horrifying forms. Most notable are the Industrial Caul (which allows them to implant objects in their body) and the Phantasmal Caul (which lets them transform into a living nightmare that can induce paralytic fear or outright madness). In second edition, they have several Haunts with particularly Lovecraftian effects, including the Boneyard, when they want to do a haunted house; the Caul, merging with their geist to grant them abilities like transforming into uncanny and disturbing forms, spawning a homunculus from their body, or swallowing a corpse or ghost whole to mimic their form and abilities; and the Rage, when they want to make someone suffer, physically or psychologically.

Marvel Universe:
Deadpool was an attempt to replicate Wolverine's Healing Factor that went wrong by having Wolverine's DNA injected into him. He had cancer that was killing him already, and they thought the healing factor would cure that. Unfortunately, the healing factor applied to his body and the cancer cells, so while his superhuman immune system is perfectly capable of killing the cancer, the cancer can recover and mutate just as quickly.
In The Eternals, the Celestial experiments on proto-humans that created the eponymous super-race and mutants also created the Deviants. While the Eternals are superhumans with the ability to manipulate energy, the Deviants look like horrible monsters straight out of Lovecraft's works. Fortunately, most of them aren't that bad and just want to live in peace.
Milder example in Fantastic Four: the Thing looks like a giant rock hulk. This produces plenty of angst for Ben Grimm, and the fact that other people in the Marvel Universe have been mutated in much worse ways isn't exactly a great consolation.
The first three issues of Generation Hope deal with the manifestation of the powers of Kenji Uedo, the fifth new mutant since M-Day. His power is a sort of "techno-organic" shapeshifting, but that doesn't quite convey how very Lovecraftian they can be (the first image through the link even looks like an obvious Shout-Out to Tetsuo's transformation in AKIRA above).
Generation X foe Emplate has mouths on his hands that let him cannibalize mutant bone marrow. In the Bad Future that Bishop comes from, Emplate's powers have become contagious, and vampiric "emplates" are a constant danger even though the original has apparently been killed.
Ghost Rider has had a few of these characters over the years, such as the revamped Highwayman, a demonic trucker whose rig is made up of organs from his victims and who survives decapitation by growing fingers from the bottom of his head and scuttling around like a spider.
The Bride of Nine Spiders from Immortal Iron Fist can summon hordes of spiders from her chest. This looks even worse than it sounds.◊
The Incredible Hulk is one of the most prominent examples of this trope, and perhaps one of the tamest. At least Bruce maintains a totally humanoid form — there are a number of gamma mutates who aren't nearly so lucky. Immortal Hulk amps up the Lovecraft, revealing gamma radiation to have supernatural aspects, playing up opportunities for Body Horror, and giving Bruce Resurrective Immortality that sends him to the "below-place" while he's dead.
The Inhumans are a subspecies of humanity that the Kree genetically modified long ago. Those of Inhuman lineage manifest superpowers when exposed to the Terrigen Mist. The lucky ones retain their human forms after Terrigenesis, or at least something fairly close to human. The unlucky ones don't.
The Midnight Sons line and the later Fearless Spin-Off of Fear Itself both featured the Comicbook/Hydra D.O.A. (Department of Occult Armaments), whose super-agents all had body horror powers, such as Rotwrap's insect-infested mummified form and Innards's ability to pull out his internal organs and attack others with them.
The Project Purgatory arc of New Mutants introduces the Inferno Babies, the latent mutant infants used during Inferno (1988) to open a portal to Limbo over Manhattan. Some of them have monstrous mutations fitting the hostile environment they were raised in; Scab's blood becomes body armor, Maw is covered in fanged mouths, and Alex is a Blob Monster.
Secret Warriors introduced Hive, a Cthulhumanoid member of the Hydra inner council who can control others by implanting Puppeteer Parasite spawn in their bodies.
Spider-Man:
Spider-Man has on at least one occasion turned into a literal multi-limbed arachnid-humanoid creature. Even normal Spider-Man, in those incarnations where the sticky white silk he shoots from his hands is organic, arguably counts.
Or the time when he fights Miss Arrow. Or, really, just her entire being. Bonus points for being a Lovecraftian horror in the first place, madam.
Minor Spidey villain the Squid can grow multiple Combat Tentacles and spew black ink from his skin.
Spidey villain the Sandman can sometimes appear like this, as some adaptations have him using his ability to reform himself to make an arm come out of his head or other limbs where they just don't belong.
The various symbiotes may as well be parasitic shoggoths, capable of forming tentacles, spines, extra mouths, and other grotesque metamorphoses. Most noticeable is Carnage, a psychopathic serial killer whose symbiote tends to turn into a cloud of barbed tentacles whenever it feels like it. Also, the reason his suit is red is that it's made up of the Venom symbiote mixed with Cletus Kasady's blood. This is taken to its logical conclusion in Absolute Carnage, where Carnage connects to a primordial god of the abyss.

Going from his old, already-creepy look to an eight-foot-tall skeleton wrapped in a symbiote doesn't help.
The whole premise of Terror Inc. is his power to engage in Appendage Assimilation, usually by taking pieces directly off of others. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the character started out as a villain in the Alternate Continuity Shadlowine comics before being adapted tom the main Marvel Universe.
And of course, there are Wolverine's claws, which are bone knives that slice through his forearms and hands every time they extend. Good Thing He Can Heal indeed. The comics and adaptations make no bones about the fact that having metal bonded to your skeleton and blades made of the stuff stuck into your arms is in fact not actually a good thing. Logan's healing factor is all that allowed him to survive having it done to him, and when deprived of it by power-dampening characters or tech, the adamantium in his body starts to poison him; he'd die without his powers. At least before the bone-claw Retcon, driving those claws through his forearms and out of the back of his hands without his healing factor is insanely agonizing — surgery-without-any-anesthesia agonizing because that's kinda what's happening—- to the point of being in real danger of having a heart attack on the spot. You're expected to kindly ignore all this when he loses his adamantium and writers who don't want to deprive him of his signature weapon say "Oh, he always had 'em, they were just covered with metal." We also learn just how damaging the presence of the adamantium was during this period, though: his healing and animal-based powers were in overdrive compared to how he normally is; apparently, the overwhelming majority of his mutant might is usually not available to him because it's busy keeping the deleterious effects of the adamantium in him at bay. Even after the bone-claw retcon, it's shown that popping the claws is still very painful. The first time he popped them in Origins, he screams in agony a moment later. By the present day, he's used to the pain. Also, when the bone-claw retcon was first introduced, Wolverine popped his bone claws a few days after Magneto had ripped the adamantium out of his skeleton, which in the process had overloaded his healing factor. Meaning that in addition to the extreme pain, he started bleeding profusely out of the holes his claws had just created in his hands. When his healing factor is functioning, the wounds from popping his claws just instantly close as soon as he retracted them. With it on the fritz for a while, he treated claws like giant piercings in his hands, and kept them extended for while every day until his body adapted to having six new holes on a permanent basis.
X-Men:
Predating the Spike below the even more Lovecraftian Marrow, whose bone growths were originally uncontrollable, random, and disfiguring. She would tear them out periodically to use as melee weapons, healing the wounds left behind with her Healing Factor.
As well as the rest of The Morlocks living in the sewers. Their powers come with varying degrees of deformity built in, often quite hideous in nature. Hence their living in the sewers; they're so obviously mutated that they can't blend in with normal humans.
And then there's Tusk, who predates Marrow but is fairly similar... except that he also has pods on his back from which he can spawn Mini-Me versions of himself.
A one-shot Morlock is named MeMe. He absorbs people into himself physically to get bigger and stronger; at any given point, screaming humans melted into him and each other will be wriggling around on his body, with the limbs and faces of his less-intact victims jutting out every which way. As they shift and more are added, he never looks exactly the same in any two panels.
A former X-Man with the charming name of Maggott had two parasitic slugs that crawled out of his belly and could eat anything. He spent most of his childhood nearly starving to death until his primary digestive system (the slugs) emerged.
Johnny Dee of the 198 isn't a mutant, but his internalized parasitic twin is. It extends poison tentacles from his gut and makes mind-controlling zombie dolls of anyone whose DNA it eats.
X-Statix: The Spike's mutant ability allows him to fire bone spikes out of his body. His teammate Phat can fill himself up with extradimensional gunk, growing to grotesque proportions but increasing his strength and durability exponentially. One short-lived member of the team, Sluk (and when we say "short lived", we mean "he was already dead when his team was introduced"), has creepy tentacle things growing from his face and tentacular feet and hands. His teammates secretly hate him for a few reasons. One is that he's only handy in close combat situations and it's difficult to get him into the right spots a lot of the time. Another is that he isn't exactly Mr. Personality. Mostly, however, they don't like him because he just looks really, really weird.

In The Umbrella Academy, the Horror is pretty much the embodiment of this. He's said to have several monsters hidden under his skin. Whether or not they're from space or another dimension or something else has yet to be stated. However, according to some people in-universe, they're horrible and disgusting.

The Cure from Ruby Quest causes this. It's a filmy red substance that, when given to a person, acts as a panacea, up to the point of curing conditions (like blindness) present from birth and making it unnecessary for the recipient to eat or drink. It can even resurrect people (though it gives them amnesia). However, it also serves as The Corruption, and its use by the Metal Glen caused an outbreak of violence. It also mutates people whenever they are wounded, and over time it twists them into creatures mutated so horribly /tg/ called them zombies. The mutations tend to give the afflicted special powers. Ruby gets a Third Eye with some kind of True Sight, Tom has two extra arms on his abdomen, Filbert has a giant mutated arm and teeth harder than iron, Tom Nook can create fleshy growths, and Jay can project a shadow of himself anywhere in the facility.

The Owl House: "Hunting Palismen" reveals that Belos suffers from a curse-like affliction that warps his body into a monstrous shape made of Ominous Obsidian Ooze, supposedly caused by wild magic and which he treats by absorbing Palisman essence. The end of said episode reveals he has a limited amount of control over this form to create horrific appendages, such as the one he used to intimidate Hunter into silence. "Hollow Mind" reveals that this affliction was actually caused by past attempts to carve glyphs on his skin, which backfired and made him turn into a monstrosity. He only gets relief by absorbing palismen essence, which he refers to as "souls". These souls have over time bound together as a lean, horrific, horned entity in his mindscape that is constantly plaguing him with their outcries. Even after destroying the manifestation of their souls in his mindscape, he seems to retain the shifting power, hinting there's even more to it. The Collector even implies that his cursed form is his real form now, and that his human shape is just a facsimile that he puts on.

Dragon #s 296 and 300 introduced the Monster Cultist prestige classes. Give yourself over to a monstrous god, and you gain the powers of their natural worshippers ... at the cost of becoming more like them. Examples include Sphere Minion (beholders); Illithidkin (mind flayers); Snake Servant (medusas); Waker of the Beast (tarrasque); Faceless Ones (doppelgangers); Deep Thrall (kraken); Shoal Servant (kua-toas); and Tiger Mask (rakashas).

Pathfinder offers sorcerers different bloodlines. One of them, the Aberrant bloodline, gives the practitioner slightly 'wiggy' anatomy (which gets progressively more so as he gets higher in level). Starts out with the ability to spit acid, ends with Aberrant Physiology, in which your character's so messed up, he's immune to critical hits.
The Impossible bloodline takes this one step further, as reality slowly looses its grip on a sorcerer: from their magic affecting golems, as if they were living breathing creatures, to trivial reversal of space and gravity and, finally – a replacement of their insides with bizarre impossible stuff, like nebulae, a crown of god rays or a fractal composite of their own tiny copies – making a sorcerer completely unbothered by critical hits, sneak attacks and bleeding, as well as poison and disease.
The Vivisection Alchemist's recommended Discoveries are things like tentacles, parasitic twins, Tumor Familliars, and vestigial arms. And their base skillset is focused on making furries from animals who piss them off.
Several monster classes/types have Lovecraftian superpowers. While the abberation type monsters are the most obvious, other creatures count like liches. While liches are undead, the mechanics of their undeath are pretty damn Lovecraftian. A lich's soul is kept in a phylactery and unless it's destroyed, their horrible rotted bodies just reconstruct and reform. Graveknights even moreso as they are the souls of evil warriors that won't rest and inhabit their armor. So even if you destroy the body inside it doesn't matter because the armor is the real vessel. So you might end up fighting a trashed empty suit of armor that keeps reconstructing itself much like a lich with its phylactery.

In Pathfinder (2010), Rigg bonds with a Facemask. A successful bonding can benefit both parties, however there is a very high chance of ending up as a Meat Puppet. As a result of a successful bonding Rigg (who was Weak, but Skilled until this point) becomes REALLY over powered.

Ashitaka in Princess Mononoke gets a cursed arm from contact with the tentacle-goop of a demon. It tends to pulse and warp bizarrely, giving him occasional Super-Strength and making his arrows considerably more lethal; he doesn't have much control over it, though, and it's going to kill him eventually if he doesn't find a way to remove the curse.

Several Dungeons & Dragons prestige classes do this. The Alienist is very explicitly Lovecraftian, as it involves abandoning their sanity, summoning pseudonatural beings from the Far Realm, and modifying their bodies with otherworldly effects. There's also the Vermin Lord (who gets covered in bugs), the Fleshwarper (monster flesh grafts for all!) and the Cancer Mage (how does "Sentient Tumour" sound as a superpower?). You can also take Aberrant feats, which improve your body while making you look really messed up. Special mention should be made of the 3.0 Song and Silence Prestige Class "Fang of Lolth", who slowly gives over her body to the image of the above-mentioned Spider-Queen. Unhinged jaws, bug-eyes, hairy limbs, EXTRA limbs. There are also TWO versions of the Pseudonatural Creature template. As well as a Half-Farspawn template. Both of which add tentacles to an existing creature (although, the first is more of a template for creatures native to Lovecraftian dimensions that happen to bear some resemblance to their Material Plane equivalents, rather than a modification).
The core rules have the Phantasmal Killer spell, which essentially makes you appear to your foes as though transformed into an alien monstrosity. If it works, they die of fright.
Another notable one is called the Warshaper, which basically involves taking a character that can change shape in some way, and going nuts with it. Sprouting claws, horns, mouths and spikes at will, doubling the length of limbs for better reach, growing more limbs, all of the above at once...
The Expanded Psionics Handbook doesn't have anything explicitly aberrant (besides illithids and intellect devourers), but many of the powers available to the psychic warrior involve sprouting claws and spitting acid. One of the higher-level abilities, Form of Doom, makes the psychic warrior's body stronger and faster, "complete with an ooze-sleek skin coating, lashing tentacles, and a fright-inducing countenance".
Its expansion/followup, Complete Psionics, has illithid feats and the related flayerspawn psychic prestige class, which allows characters to take on mind flayer traits (up to and including brain-extracting face-tentacles).
Fourth Edition warlocks (particularly the Star-Pact variety) can attack foes with writhing tentacles and swarms of crawling unearthly vermin that sprout directly from the enemy's flesh, or simply attack their sanity with visions and apparitions of this nature. Gained, as the name suggests, by channeling the powers of various cosmic God-beings.
A Forgotten Realms special is the spellscarred multiclass feature, which has all kinds of nasty Body Horror powers. Including unhinging your jaw to take a bite out of your enemies, bleeding on your sword to make it blister with plague, and creating a rope of flesh that binds you to your target so they can't escape you.

Both D&D and Pathfinder have The Worm That Walks, which is brought into being when a powerful dead spellcaster who was either very evil or died/was buried in a place corrupted by evil finds their consciousness and memories transferred to the bugs, worms and grubs feasting on their corpse; the vermin then forms a Hive Mind swarm that takes the approximate shape of the caster in life (only, you know, obviously made of bugs) with all their knowledge and power, and more besides such as the ability to take the form of an actual shapeless swarm or dissappear and reappear by scattering their component bugs, and a horrifically evil disposition if they didn't have one in life already. Tellingly, their creature type changes to aberration, and the method of becoming a worm that walks on purpose (as opposed to a horrible coincidence/mishap) is hinted to be even more monstrously evil than the ritual to become a lich, which is already described as jumping beyond the Moral Event Horizon.

Daily Equestria Life with Monster Girl:
Cerea's plastic practice sword has effectively become this. It is a weapon that destroys magic and wounds the soul itself, made of a substance that exists nowhere else in Menajeria and which only Cerea can safely handle. And at the end of the story, Cerea gains the ability to create or dismiss this weapon as her innate magic.
Tirek likewise fits this trope. His ability to drain magic is revealed to be the result of his brother cutting him open and surgically weaving platinum wires through his body and into his bones. This procedure appears to have technically killed him, but it left his soul trapped inside his corpse, able to keep it "alive" and moving by spending magic but still unable to generate magic in any way other than by draining it from those around him.

The aliens in Parasyte are worm-like creatures that get into a human's brain through the ears and can transform their hosts bodies to have tentacles ending in sharp blades. Main character Shinichi gets a worm in his hand instead, which allows him to retain his free will and his parasite agrees to help him fight the other worms, since they want him dead too for botching his infestation.

North 40 deals with what happens when some kid reads the Tome of Eldritch Lore in a small town's library, triggering a Mass Super-Empowering Event of this type. The lucky ones get superpowers like invulnerability, super-strength, and the ability to see through an animal's eyes. The other ones, however, get the ability to make man-powered killing machines, see through any photograph of themselves with their "new eyes" (which look like fanged maws), or just plain all-purpose Body Horror of various and sundry varieties.

Pathfinders in Farscape can shoot poisonous bristles from the gills in their heads.
Aside from the Corlata's ability to shapeshift in a particularly gruesome way, one of them apparently had the power to exude an explosive fluid from his hands.
The Halosians can animate their vomit into a separate entity.
When starved, Delvians produce venomous buds from their skin and exhale clouds of paralysing spores.
E'Alet, the villain from "A Prefect Murder", could grow swarms of mind-controlling sgabba flies inside his skull and emit them.

Berserk: The Apostles. For some reason, fulfilling a person's most fervent (often dying) dream always involves turning them into a Lovecraftian horror. Rosine, the Dark Magical Girl Apostle, partially averts this by being actually kind of cute... until the final battle, where she turns into her TRUE form.

In Vampire: The Masquerade is the Obtenebration discipline, which at a certain level allows the user to make tentacles out of shadows.
Don't forget what Tzimisce can do with their Vicissitude, which allows them to sculpt themselves or others into slimy pus-heaps or powerful mutant monsters, as they see fit. One sourcebook played up the Lovecraftian connections by making it a parasitic virus from the Umbra. This was not well-received and eventually struck out, but the idea remained that Vicissitude isn't so much a proper Discipline as a virus devised by the clan's antediluvian founder for some foul purpose. The Gangrel's Protean discipline also has weird shapeshifting, though usually much less spectacularly disturbing.
Fomori have this and The Corruption as pretty much their entire schtick in Werewolf: The Apocalypse: sure, you can get Super-Strength, but you're gonna look like a reeeally ugly Hulk for the rest of your life. Or that convenient armor power you just got takes the form of a thick, chitinous exoskeleton that covers your entire body. It doesn't stop there and Storytellers are often encouraged to go further down the Humanoid Abomination route. Justified by the fact that Fomori get their powers from being fused to a Bane on a physical and spiritual level, and that for each Power Point they get at creation, they must take on an equivalent Taint to balance it out.
Also from Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the Black Spiral Dancer tribe of werewolves. While other werewolf tribes get gifts that allow them to talk to spirits or heal with a touch, the gifts of the Black Spiral tribe are more likely to be hideous mutations.
Wraith: The Oblivion has Pandemonium, the Arcanos for the creation of classic haunting effects such as bending local time and space into pretzels or spawning various disgusting things to terrify the living.
Then there's Yu Huang, the emperor of the Yellow Springs, who supposedly managed to defeat a Malfean in secret combat and wrest secrets from its Corpus while it was pinned down. There are a number of stories of people stepping to the emperor and disrupting his Corpus, only for a demonic dragon-like entity to emerge and swallow the offender whole. Big surprise, it's just the Malfean wearing Yu Huang as a skinsuit.

Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra give us bloodbending, a sub-type of waterbending which can turn victims into People Puppets or remove their bending abilities by bending their body fluids. Whereas most types of bending looks like standard martial arts, bloodbending looks very much like a puppeteer at work. A body under control of a bloodbender tends to shake and make really disturbing sounds.

Most (if not all species) of octopuses can: strangle and crush enemies or prey with their tentacles, confuse them by spraying black ink into the water, paralyze them with potent toxins from their beak-like mouthparts, or change their coloring at will. Some species can even change their texture and limb orientation so they look like harmless seaweed or fish. It's like [PROTOTYPE], but in real life! The mimic octopus can mimic twelve species, one of them being a venomous snake.

The Flood in Halo, once they've infected an organic body, have the ability to morph it into various shapes to aid in combat, most commonly sprouting Combat Tentacles and spikes. At a certain point they start developing Pure Forms: Flood creatures built out of a mishmash of organic material which can shift forms fairly drastically to fit into a variety of situations, from aptly named Tank Forms, to the intermediary Stalker Forms, to the Ranged Form.

BioShock: Most of the plasmids, which are injected in order to rapidly modify your genetic structure, combine this with Elemental Powers.
The first game's "Insect Swarm" plasmid causes a small hive-like growth to form on your palm, which allows you to throw live swarms of hornets at your foes.
All of the Vigors in BioShock Infinite have shades of this, most notably Murder of Crows, which works similarly to Insect Swarm above and causes Booker's hands to sprout dark feathers and talons, and Undertow, a Mind over Matter-themed Vigor that causes Booker's forearms to develop cephalopod-like suckers.

A Beast's soul has been replaced with a living nightmare that takes the form of a mythic monster and its lair. As such, they have innate abilities that draw on the capabilities of the monster and its lair, and can call up fears from the collective human soul to leave their victims quivering wrecks. One particularly Lovecraftian power is Infestation, which allows a Beast with a suitable nightmare-soul to transform their body into a swarm of insects.

In Animorphs, morphing is usually full of Body Horror during the transformation process, but the morph itself is just whatever animal the DNA was from. For Visser Three, that usually means an alien One-Winged Angel, often one that breathes fire or something else horrifying. The psychological effects of being shot, dismembered, disemboweled, burned, frostbitten, partially vaporized, partially digested, and even swatted while in insect morph dozens of times, only to emerge fully healed, also take a toll on the Animorphs' mental health.

And from Stardust Crusaders onward, several Stands have those types of powers (such as a minuscule Stand that enters your brain through the ear canal and wreaks havoc on your nervous system or turns its victims into People Puppets, or one that manifests as a pustulant, tumorous growth either on its wielder (which covers them from head to toe and can be altered to make them look like a completely different person) or their enemy (where it grows into a grotesque homunculus/conjoined twin who then tries its damnedest to murder its host body). Those two examples are just two from early in the first arc to use Stands, and since the freakiness of said Stands only escalates in latter arcs... It's that kind of series.

In My Hero Academia several character's Quirks qualify.
The most horrific is Seiji Shishikura's "Meatball" Quirk, which allows him to manipulate his flesh and transform people into disgusting meatball blobs.
Vlad King, Class 1-B's homeroom teacher has the ability to control his blood.
Kinoko Komori has the ability to grow mushrooms on people's skin and even in their throats.
Stain's "Bloodcurdle" Quirk has him taste the blood of his victim to paralyze them for a determined period of time.
Tatami Nakagame can retract her body inside itself.
Tamaki Amajiki can shapeshift based on what he's eaten in the past 24 hours. He can combine traits of what he's eaten into even more nightmarish forms with his "Vast Hybrid" technique.
Kuin Hachisuka of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes has a hole in her right eye that houses bees she can control.
All For One's Power Parasite ability lets him freely collect, use and bestow any number of Quirks. With it, he can level city blocks by combining an air cannon Quirk, a Quirk that lets his limbs inflate and coil grotesquely like springs, and multiple Quirks that amplify kinetic energy. His Finishing Move, made up of thirteen Quirks, swells and mutates his arm so that it's bigger than the entire rest of his body and bristling with mutated flesh. His power is acknowledged as just plain evil In-Universe, and stealing someone's Quirk is invariably traumatic. To top it off, even giving someone a Quirk their body can't handle has the potential to turn them into an Empty Shell.

Sláine being a fusion of Celtic Mythology, Robert E. Howard novels and the good old-fashioned, classic 2000 AD punk aesthetic, the eponymous hero (an appropriate fusion of Cuchulainn and Conan with a punk aesthetic) has his "warp-spasm", which causes him to mutate into grotesquely ugly forms while gaining incredible strength, resilience and bloodlust.

In Wakfu, Rushu in his true form weaponizes Body Horror, being able to sprout tentacles and fanged maws anywhere on his body. During his fight with Goultard, Goultard tried gut-punching him. This backfired when Rushu's torso simply grew a mouth and bit down hard on Goultard's hand.

The Elder Scrolls:
In Morrowind, the Big Bad is Dagoth Ur, a Physical God Deity of Human Origin who gained his power by tapping into the Heart of a "dead" god. Aside from his Complete Immortality (at least until his connection to the Heart is severed), he also gains the power to create and spread the Corprus Disease, a form of The Corruption which turns sufferers into Dagoth's mindless, Body Horror, Humanoid Abomination, Plague Zombie minions.
Skyrim:
Peryite, the Daedric Prince of Pestilence and Tasks, offers a quest to kill the leader of a group of his rogue followers who have been "blessed" with a particular Mystical Plague. One of the effects of the plague gives the suffers a weaponized version of projectile vomiting. Before going rogue, Peryite intended to have these followers spread the plague to the entire world.
In the Dragonborn DLC, the Dragonborn has to defeat Evil Counterpart Big Bad Miraak, who also happens to be the champion of Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge and the only Daedric Prince who doesn't bother using A Form You Are Comfortable With (preferring to appear as a true Eldritch Abomination). After defeating Miraak, Mora proclaims the Dragonborn to be his new champion. He grants a set of tentacle-tastic armor, a staff and sword which wriggle and drip slime, and the unholy ability to summon pools of necrotic darkness, tentacles, and floating eyes.

Fate/Gag Order's version of Don Quixote is a Servant who qualifies to be a Foreigner due to being unwittingly tormented by Hastur (The King in Yellow) while he was alive and battling his "Amber Arm" when he was still in a regular class. This doesn't crop up much in either his first and third Ascensions, but it heavily does for his second where Hastur's influence is at its strongest, especially when he uses his Noble Phantasm.

For One Piece, we have Nico Robin. It is very easy to forget that such a pretty woman consistently uses her powers to break the spines of her enemies. What are those powers, exactly? Sprouting bodyparts out of anywhere. However, unlike most other examples, we do not squirm in agony when she uses her powers, but instead relish when the bastards get what's coming for them. And as an added bonus, she's a part of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Of all the Devil Fruit powers that exist, Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit (Yami Yami no Mi) is so far the closest to fit the criteria of Lovecraftian horror. It allows the user to become and manipulate darkness, but in a way that simulates black holes, sucking in and crushing everything that comes near it with powerful gravitational force. This essentially makes Blackbeard a walking, human black hole. Worthy of note is that the ability itself is an abnormality thanks to it having its own peculiar perks that break the usual Devil Fruit rules, such as the lack of Nigh-Invulnerability common for the Logia class it belongs to and the capacity to nullify other Devil Fruit powers.

The DCU:
In Animal Man (2011), Buddy Baker becomes infused with more power from the Red (the metaphysical manifestation of the Animal Kingdom, and the animal equivalent to the Green from Swamp Thing), and his power to use animal abilities is morphed into actually physically manifesting animal characteristics. These transformations are visceral and not pleasant to look at.
Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham is a Cthulhu/Batman mashup that presents Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Two-Face and ultimately Batman himself as this. In particular, Harvey's scarred side becomes a flesh-portal to Lovecraftian dimensions, while his normal side is still capable of carrying on a conversation.
The evil Green Martian D'kay D'razz, introduced in Brightest Day, uses her shapeshifting powers to frightening and effective use via Combat Tentacles and turning her head into a Venus Flytrap. Assuming a monstrous form comes naturally to her, since she's a murderous lunatic.
Most of the characters from Grant Morrison's run of Doom Patrol. Perhaps most emblematically, Freak has a parasitic tentacle beast living in her body. While she has total control over its tendrils... ick.
The story "The Reaching Hand" from Elseworlds 80-Page Giant reinvents DC's Rubber Man characters as barely-Humanoid Abominations.
Green Lantern: It's possible that Guy Gardner's Warrior powers weren't supposed to invoke this trope, but the terrible '90s art in his solo series makes his transformations deeply squicky.
In Robin (1993), Tim stumbles across a strange thing in the Appalachian mountains that can retain human form by linking itself to a human who in turn is granted immortality through regeneration while near them but loses their ability to speak and has their memories and sense of self altered. If their linked human is killed, they revert into a mass of fleshy tentacles interspersed with giant mouths and eyes and kill everyone around them until they form a new link and make a new human form for themselves.
Wesley Dodds was the Golden Age Sandman. When Dream of the Endless was captured, it wreaked havoc on the dream-scape and messed with people's ability to dream or sleep. As the narrator says in Sandman #1: "The universe knows something's missing and slowly tries to replace it". Dodds became a vessel for a fraction of Dream's essence. What ability did a piece of the lord of dreams grant Dodds? Every night he dreamed of crimes and saw murders and horror with the nightmares continuing until the perpetrator was caught. After that he had no dreams for a few nights, and then the whole thing started all over again. While prophetic dreams don't seem too lovecraftian, keep in mind that Dodds was just a man and shouldn't have had a piece of the Dream-lord's soul inside of him. (The one time they met, in Sandman Mystery Theatre, the notoriously distant Dream showed pity for Dodds and his situation... but he's not known to have reclaimed the part of himself Dodds held, even after being freed; in some continuities, the dreams passed to Dodds' heirs when he died.)

The Foreigner Servants from Fate/Grand Order are mostly historical figures who made contact with beings lurking in a higher realm who inspired H. P. Lovecraft's various works. Foreigners have a relatively normal stage with the power granted to them by the Outer Gods restrained and a more eldritch stage with a darker palette and far more disturbing attacks.
Abigail Williams at first appears to be a normal twelve-year-old girl but it's revealed that she was modified into becoming the host of Yog-Sothoth and became its Silver Key, with a literal keyhole growing on her forehead. This transforms her from a little girl to someone with the power to bring in Yog-Sothoth's tentacles into our world as she pleases, summon butterflies out of nowhere, and tap into an unearthly light for attacks. In the climax of the story she debuted, her power goes out of control, creating a dimensional breach into the universe for the Outer Gods to come through and only the protagonists beating the god inside her back into dormancy allows her to reassert control over herself. She also should've died after the protagonists resolved the crisis but her newfound temporal and spatial powers from tapping into Yog-Sothoth allow her to simply ignore that and carry on.
Katsuhika Hokusai made contact with Cthulhu and the artwork he and Oei reproduce contains the madness of Cthulhu, creating a disorienting dissonance (their version of Mount Fuji in this form erupts from the sky and the Great Wave off Kanagawanote Which is also implied to actually be depicting the waters over Ry'leh is blood-red).
Yang Guifei has a connection to a being that seems to be a combination of Cthuga and Formalhaut and is implied to have been twisted into a catalyst for said being due to her devotion to her Emperor.
Subverted with certain ones such as Mysterious Heroine XX, whose status as a Foreigner is due to her being an alien from another dimension, and Voyager, who's the Anthropomorphic Personification of the Voyager I satellite.

Magic: The Gathering sometimes does this with cards like Unstable Mutation and some of the versions of Unholy Strength feature frightful asymmetry. Other cards, like Fallen Angel, involve sacrificing creatures to pump them up.
Or there's the direct route, via Eldrazi Conscription.
The set Eldritch Moon features many examples of Body Horror related superpowers, including two corrupted angels being forced to meld together into an abomination.

Darkest Dungeon:
The cultists, more specifically those residing in the titular location, gain boons as terribly effective as they are nasty to see. Some are so distorted that they lose their Human typing, and become Eldritch-Beast.
On the player's side, the Occultist has access to summonable Combat Tentacles, as well as a variety of curses and debuffs. It's heavily implied these powers come from a Deal with the Devil.
The Abomination has an eldritch creature bound within him, allowing him to half-transform to spew corrosive bile, and also turn into a skinless werewolf creature to maul your enemies. This is understandably stressful for everyone nearby.

Tales of Maj'Eyal has squicky powers for a number of classes. The Rot skill tree for Reavers revolves around infesting yourself with carrion worms. Oozemancers are druid-like defenders of nature, but the aspect of nature they emulate is oozes, slime molds, and fungi, giving them talents like Mitosis and Indiscernible Anatomy. The classes from the Forbidden Cults DLC are naturally chock-full of Lovecraftian powers, with the Writhing One focusing on summoning horror-type monsters and mutating themself into one, while the Cultist of Entropy uses spells that crack open reality and harrow the minds of their enemies.

Skullgirls:
Ms. Fortune. Her power comes from her undying body and nigh-infinite Healing Factor, allowing for such things as using High-Pressure Blood for propulsion and ensnaring her opponents in her own muscle fibers.
Painwheel. Her powers come from severe and unwanted bioaugmentation that required major disfigurement◊. Many of her attacks involve spikes tearing through her skin, and/or severe, painful contortions.
Eliza. She replaced her entire skeletal system with a power-granting parasite, and the rest of her "body", save for her brain and possibly some other organs, is just blood shapeshifted into a human-looking form. She's constantly shapeshifting to attack, with grotesque results.
Double, sort of. She is an Eldritch Abomination. In battle, she doesn't use much of this: she's a Voluntary Shapeshifter with the ability to assume the form of any of the other fighters and use their powers in battle. She makes up for it in cutscenes.

Transformers: Timelines: Ramjet was once the most powerful herald of Unicron who employed the reality warping powers bestowed upon him by his master to punish his victims. After Unicron imploded into a grand black hole, Ramjet was trapped in the Void Between the Worlds where the resident Eldritch Abomination tortured him by destroying and recreating his existence for quick laughs until they got bored and dumped him back into his dimension. This horrible experience gave Ramjet powers far greater than the ones he had, to the point that his mere existence can corrupt and twist the reality around him. Unfortunately, this also left him in a perpetual state of being and unbeing, holding himself together through sheer force of will, and pretty much shattered his mind.

In Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, Osmosians have the power to absorb matter and energy and use it to transform their bodies. Absorbing energy has the nastiest effects and warps body and mind. This Retcon explains the complete overhaul of Kevin's personality and powers between the original Ben 10 and the rest of the series. When we first saw that he'd gone from an energy-absorbing, murderous, sociopath (who'd absorbed the power of the Omnitrix to become a horrific mishmash of Ben's original 10 alien forms, and eventually lost the ability to turn human again) to a gruff but decent guy who can turn into any material he touches. It made no sense, but now it turns out that he could always absorb matter and energy; doing it with energy created the Kevin of the original series and once he switched to matter he went back to being the Kevin of the later series, in mind and body. In Ultimate Alien, he's forced to absorb the Omnitrix's power again, becoming a hideous mashup of Ben's new aliens instead of the original ten. (Yes, this makes him Ax-Crazy again, too.)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
The Pillar Men from Battle Tendency take Master of Your Domain to Body Horror incarnate. Specific powers vary depending on the person, but they're all shown to be able to contort their bodies far beyond anything the most flexible, double-jointed human could even hope to do, and even crush their own skeletons into dust to slip through tiny spaces (fortunately, they also have an extremely powerful Healing Factor to undo it) and can effortlessly absorb any living thing into their bodies simply by touching them. More specific powers include burrowing inside other people's bodies and controlling them, extending their ribcages to impale opponents, sprouting chainsaw arm blades, rotating their arms like drills fast enough to create powerful whirlwinds and firing Razor Wind from holes in their bodies, and prehensile blood vessels that can inject literally boiling hot blood into people. When one Pillar Man is seemingly killed, his brain is able to escape his body and seize control of another person and when their leader, Kars, is transformed by the Stone Mask, he gains Complete Immortality and the power to transform any part of his body into any animal, even when said parts aren't connected to his body (for example, he grows bird wings and fires razor sharp feathers at Joseph. The feathers then transform into piranhas to continue attacking him).
There's also the vampires (originally created from humans by the Pillar Men with the Stone Mask as a food source), and their zombie minions who get instances of this, such as being able to contort and warp their bodies in numerous freakish ways; one of them has a nest of venomous snakes in his head, another uses his hair as a weapon, and Phantom Blood's Big Bad Dio can split open his eyes with a thought to shoot out the liquid inside with the power and accuracy of a sniper rifle.
And from Stardust Crusaders onward, several Stands have those types of powers (such as a minuscule Stand that enters your brain through the ear canal and wreaks havoc on your nervous system or turns its victims into People Puppets, or one that manifests as a pustulant, tumorous growth either on its wielder (which covers them from head to toe and can be altered to make them look like a completely different person) or their enemy (where it grows into a grotesque homunculus/conjoined twin who then tries its damnedest to murder its host body). Those two examples are just two from early in the first arc to use Stands, and since the freakiness of said Stands only escalates in latter arcs... It's that kind of series.

This is pretty much standard issue for EVOs in Generator Rex. The level of freakiness ranges from "cactus guy with vine whips" to "If there are words to describe that thing, I don't want to know what they are".

In The Abarat Quintet, the Prince of Midnight, Christopher Carrion, has the ability to distill his nightmares in physical form. They come out of tubes set in his skull and into a tank around his neck, cavorting in the fluid he breathes. On command, they can grow to many times their size and attack.
Leeman Vole is a man who enjoys growing insects. On and in his own body.
Leotho is a boy with a ravenous beast form. He works for Carrion in return for the antidote, which he needs continual doses of to remain human.
Mater Motley, Carrion's grandmother and his eventual killer. The things she can do with needles...

Spider-Man:
Spider-Man has on at least one occasion turned into a literal multi-limbed arachnid-humanoid creature. Even normal Spider-Man, in those incarnations where the sticky white silk he shoots from his hands is organic, arguably counts.
Or the time when he fights Miss Arrow. Or, really, just her entire being. Bonus points for being a Lovecraftian horror in the first place, madam.
Minor Spidey villain the Squid can grow multiple Combat Tentacles and spew black ink from his skin.
Spidey villain the Sandman can sometimes appear like this, as some adaptations have him using his ability to reform himself to make an arm come out of his head or other limbs where they just don't belong.
The various symbiotes may as well be parasitic shoggoths, capable of forming tentacles, spines, extra mouths, and other grotesque metamorphoses. Most noticeable is Carnage, a psychopathic serial killer whose symbiote tends to turn into a cloud of barbed tentacles whenever it feels like it. Also, the reason his suit is red is that it's made up of the Venom symbiote mixed with Cletus Kasady's blood. This is taken to its logical conclusion in Absolute Carnage, where Carnage connects to a primordial god of the abyss. His powers upgrade to brainwashing unwitting followers by having symbiotic maggots burrow into their skin and mutate them into multi-limbed symbiote creatures. Going from his old, already-creepy look to an eight-foot-tall skeleton wrapped in a symbiote doesn't help.

The Incredible Hulk is one of the most prominent examples of this trope, and perhaps one of the tamest. At least Bruce maintains a totally humanoid form — there are a number of gamma mutates who aren't nearly so lucky. Immortal Hulk amps up the Lovecraft, revealing gamma radiation to have supernatural aspects, playing up opportunities for Body Horror, and giving Bruce Resurrective Immortality that sends him to the "below-place" while he's dead.

In Morrowind, the Big Bad is Dagoth Ur, a Physical God Deity of Human Origin who gained his power by tapping into the Heart of a "dead" god. Aside from his Complete Immortality (at least until his connection to the Heart is severed), he also gains the power to create and spread the Corprus Disease, a form of The Corruption which turns sufferers into Dagoth's mindless, Body Horror, Humanoid Abomination, Plague Zombie minions.

The Suicide Squad: Polka-Dot Man is able to fire polka-dots which disintegrate anything they touch... but said polka-dots come from energy-generating tumors all over his body, and he developed said tumors after his mother exposed him to an extra-dimensional virus in the hope of him developing powers (she experimented on all of her kids to such an end - most of them did not survive).

The world of The Magnus Archives is inhabited by the Powers, fourteen eldritch gods based on humanity's primal fears. Becoming an avatar of one of the Powers grants you powerful supernatural abilities, but also makes you increasingly inhuman, both in nature and in appearance. Even the heroes aren't exempt from this once they start serving the Powers. Jon, an avatar of the Beholding, gains a Compelling Voice and limited omniscience at the expense of an increasingly insatiable Horror Hunger and eyes where eyes should not belong.

The Triptych Continuum has several examples:
Perhaps the biggest example is Her from Triptych itself. She is an unstable hybrid of the three pony tribes, and slowly changes from one to another. And as she changes, her body reshapes itself: her horn tears out through the skin and then recedes again, ribs break to accommodate unfolding wings, muscles tear and flesh reshapes. Worse, her mark actually rotates to reflect these changes, something so unnatural that it acts as a Brown Note to pony witnesses.
Other works in the series mention Kalziver's Severance, a spell that can very briefly cut the connection between pony and mark. The spell is referred to as "magical blasphemy", and using it causes excruciating agony from forcing magic to do something that fundamentally is not supposed to be possible.
One of the core aspects of Continuum earth pony magic is the Cornicopia Effect, charging soil with magical energies that encourage the growth of plants. However, it is also possible to invert the Effect, instead flooding the soil with energies that poison anything trying to grow there. It's rarely used, because making her magic flow in reverse like this will make an earth pony very sick.
Taken Up to Eleven in Glimmer. The story does a very good job of conveying the utter, sanity-destroying wrongness of Starlight's mark amputation, and the horror of having your soul torn out and a gaping hole left in its place.
And all of the above are contrasted with the powers of the "hybrids", ponies who have been infused with another tribe's essence and often develop unusual powers as a result. These are often bizzare (one hybrid can rewind time for weather systems, another is a pegasus who can work with unicorn Magitek but not pegasus Magitek, and of course Pinkie Pie is Pinkie Pie), but even the oddest lack the innate sanity-destroying wrongness of the other effects on this list.

In Fairy Tail, the Strauss siblings' Take Over Magic has traces of this. Lisanna's Animal Soul Take Over is relatively benign, granting her the power to transform her body parts into that of various animals. Elfman's Beast Soul Take Over is a bit freakier, granting him the power to transform his body parts into that of various magical beasts. Mirajane's Satan Soul Take Over grants her the powers and forms of various demons.

In The Dark Below, Izuku's natural quirk takes this to the next level. As do Todoroki and Tokoyami. Their powers are inherently tied to an eldritch dimension known as The Abyss. The main way Izuku in particular access the Abyss? He dies. The first couple chapters have him experimenting with various ways of killing himself to get there. He can also manipulate shadow matter that seems to defy the normal logic of reality and exposure to the Abyss's effects causes him to have an inherent understanding of higher level math and quantum physics. Those three are more than just tied to the Abyss - they're the gods of it. Yeah, that's right. They are the gods of a dimension filled with creatures that make the idea of the Cosmic Horror Story a joke. Todoroki for the godflame of order, the part of the Abyss we perceive as normal reality, Izuku for the True Dark, where the unspeakable eldritch abominations live, and Tokoyami for disparity, the places where the infinite nothingness and orderly creation meet and intermingle.

Codex Equus: Various eldritch beings, divine or no, have certain powers that defy convention and make reality cry.
Unlike most eldritch beings and deities seen in the Codexverse, Moon Ray Vaughoof/Prince Canticum Lunae Cahaya is unique in that his very nature became tied to the four seasons following his re-Ascension. This makes him go through three cycles of death, reincarnation, and life in an endless loop, transforming him into a different god whose nature and powers corresponds with each season (i.e. death = winter; reincarnation = spring and fall; life = summer). Notably, as Kelahiran Semula Cahaya, his domain of Cycles gives him the ability to sense, create, and manipulate cycles, as well as other powers similar to those of High King Ragnarøkkr. However, he is vastly inexperienced in comparison and generally uses them for benevolent purposes.
As an 'Abyssal One', Queen Kthoryu's power is vaguely understood; notably, it is fueled by Dark Mana, which is not Dark Magic, but rather the magical equal of Dark Matter and/or Dark Energy. The nature of Dark Mana is so alien that it is only observable via its passive effects on the things around it. It is still being heavily researched, and it's believed that Dark Mana is the reason why her temple/palace has strange, eldritch qualities. Kthoryu's domain of Dark Energy gives her powerful anti-gravity abilities, but otherwise the full scope of it is unknown due to difficulty in observing it.
Kthoryu's domains of Primordial Sea and Primal Fear are also Lovecraftian, to a lesser degree. Being a goddess of Primordial Sea means that her powers are 'purer' and more potent compared to normal Sea deities, making her incredibly dangerous. Her domain of Primal Fear generally revolves around thalassophobia, the fear of oceans and/or deep bodies of water, though she is able to invoke other primal fears depending on her targets.
Following his transformation into an eldritch Alicorn, Prince Healing Song's Light domain gains eldritch properties, giving him new abilities such as reality-warping, transmutation, and, notably, seeing other dimensions and planes via light (which he calls the "Light of Dimensions"). His Fear domain, when combined with his Light domain, gives him the ability to inflict existential dread on his opponents and illuminate everything that they fear/hate about themselves.

Inverted in The Laundry Files; in the sixth novel, ordinary humans begin to manifest superhuman abilities; while the actual source of these abilities is an unconscious version of the series's rather nasty version of Ritual Magic (with all the same downsides), they look enough like comic book superpowers that those so-empowered tend to put on spandex and capes when it happens.

Magic Steps has "unmagic", a form of magic that revolves around the absence of everything else: light, life, existence, true magic, and so on. Just having it used on or near you will gradually eat away your mind and leave you an Empty Shell unless you're carefully cleansed of the traces, and when Sandry has to actually spin it to make the net for the Dihanurs it gives her waking nightmares and very nearly drives her mad.

Similarly to Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, Ancient Domains of Mystery features various "corruptions" that you eventually gain after enough exposure to the forces of Chaos (from traps and Chaos beings, but also simply being deep in a dungeon). These most commonly take the form of Lovecraftian superpowers - although as "superpowers", they're mostly examples of Blessed with Suck. Also similarly to the Warhammer games, taking enough corruption will turn you into a "writhing mass of primal Chaos".

The first three issues of Generation Hope deal with the manifestation of the powers of Kenji Uedo, the fifth new mutant since M-Day. His power is a sort of "techno-organic" shapeshifting, but that doesn't quite convey how very Lovecraftian they can be (the first image through the link even looks like an obvious Shout-Out to Tetsuo's transformation in AKIRA above).

Mentuthuyopi from Hunter × Hunter, one of the elite Chimera Ants, has the ability to mutate his own body. There is seemingly no limit to the number of bodyparts or amount of distortion. He does some really cool stuff with this, too; his period as a centaur-thing was impressive.

In Harrow The Ninth Harrowhark combines her bone necromancy with her newly-acquired Healing Factor to do things like reshape her ribcage to trap an enemy's blade after she's been stabbed, or grow claws and blades out of her arm bones as an Emergency Weapon.

Dead Space: Unitologists believe that the power of the Marker will allow them to become a new, immortal form of life... and they're not wrong. It just so happens that this "immortality" involves losing your mind and having your body transmuted into a specifically-formed zombie with no purpose than to harvest biological matter to propagate your species.

What If…? (2021): Having summoned and then forcibly absorbed countless mystical beings into his own body during his Protagonist Journey to Villain, Strange Supreme can manifest parts of them (a cephalopod demon, fire-breathing hydra heads, etc.) from his own body, he exhibits the Voice of the Legion whenever he gets emotional, and at times it seems like his human form is only just holding together under the weight of all the inhuman extradimensional monsters he's absorbed. Few things seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are quite like it, with even the art styles applied to the entities seen before Strange absorbs them varying wildly to make them seem all the more otherworldly, and Good Strange is stunned and horrified when he sees what Strange Supreme has done to himself.

In AKIRA, Tetsuo manifests this trope in the Olympic Stadium when Colonel Shikishima tries to neutralize him; the flesh around the stub where Tetsuo's arm was fried off by the orbital laser shoots out in a massive bloody tentacle that attacks the Colonel. But then, later in the scene, Tetsuo gets shot by Kaneda's laser weapon. You see, Tetsuo is in so much pain that this trope suddenly combines with Superpower Meltdown. Naturally, Tetsuo's Eldritch Transformation is just as bad as you can imagine it.

If Ben qualifies, then so does Khyber's pet in Ben 10: Omniverse. The Nemetrix on its collar grants the dog-like alien the power to transform into vicious non-sapient alien predators. Predators that happen to be the apex predators from the homeworlds of Ben's aliens. All of them are horrifying monsters.
Speaking of Omniverse, this trope gets ramped up even further in Ben's case, introducing Ball Weevil and Pesky Dust, the cutest forms on the Omnitrix to date... and also Toepick, whose face, normally kept hidden behind his mask, could leave any species in the universe pants-wettingly terrifiednote In fact, Toepick on his own could qualify as an example of this trope. As for the Fridge Horror-laiden introductions, we have things like Atomixnote He can manipulate nuclear energy... do we even need to explain it? and Gravattacknote He can manipulate gravity. He can also use the laws of general relativity to his advantage, and can reduce the speed of objects (or, in some cases, creatures) to nothing even if they were moving at the speed of light before. If he's not careful, however, this can create a black hole. Also, if his bright red core takes too much damage, it will enter meltdown and explode.

Her body regenerates each time, with each piece growing into another Tomie. And if these parts are grafted to another body, the poor host will slowly mutate into a clone of Tomie.

You can learn the Celtic "warp-spasm" in Scion. The picture that accompanies it in first edition shows someone in the middle stages of transformation, and it isn't pretty (he's effectively turning into a mutant crow).
Second edition's Masks of the Mythos sourcebook, which provides rules for playing as a child of Cthulhu or one of the other Great Old Ones, is naturally filled with them.

The Behemoth features symbiotes that corrupt and empower people who are lucky enough to have one. They grant horrific transformations that are themed after parts of the body — the hero has armor made out of coagulated blood, another is a Winged Humanoid with a carapace made of his own bones, and that's not even counting the Leviathan made out of human fat.

New World of Darkness:
In Hunter: The Vigil, the Cheiron Group's "thaumatechnology" is based on implanting monster organs and body parts into a human host.
The reality deviant worshippers in Second Sight get a whole section of Body Horror-themed features and rituals.
In first edition, Sin-Eaters have the Caul Manifestation, allowing them to assume a whole range of horrifying forms. Most notable are the Industrial Caul (which allows them to implant objects in their body) and the Phantasmal Caul (which lets them transform into a living nightmare that can induce paralytic fear or outright madness). In second edition, they have several Haunts with particularly Lovecraftian effects, including the Boneyard, when they want to do a haunted house; the Caul, merging with their geist to grant them abilities like transforming into uncanny and disturbing forms, spawning a homunculus from their body, or swallowing a corpse or ghost whole to mimic their form and abilities; and the Rage, when they want to make someone suffer, physically or psychologically.
And then there's the Centimani of Promethean: The Created, Prometheans who turn their back on the Great Work and embrace Flux. They can buy all sorts of twisted mutations, from tentacles to extra organs to the ability to turn into a puddle of sentient liquid.
Similarly, first edition's Zeky get a whole bunch of unwholesome Transmutations based around atomic energy and its side effects. Three words: Mind. Control. Tumor.
In Vampire: The Requiem, a few of the bloodlines have these kind of abilities. Take the Carnival, whose special Discipline ranges from contortion tricks to merging with another vampire to form a hybrid. Or the Noctuku, who alter their flesh so they can absorb more blood and better digest vampiric flesh. Or the Norvegi, who lack fangs but make up for it by producing bony spines that allow them to feed through their fingers. Or...
In Mage: The Awakening, Mages have Branding Paradox, where the Abyss warps their body in various ways, which can include temporarily granting them strange mutations of their bodies (such as horns, claws, tails, and, of course, tentacles). There is also a Left-Handed Legacy called "the Legion", whose whole shtick is that they give up parts of their body to the Abyss, and receive mutated transplants in return.
The fourth clause of the Contract of Mirrors allows changelings to turn a limb into a weapon, their skin into bark, etc., in first edition.
Mummies are all over this, able to call up eldritch abominations or turn themselves into avatars for them.
Demons are basically eldritch abominations in human form, and when they need to, they can reassume their true forms.
A Beast's soul has been replaced with a living nightmare that takes the form of a mythic monster and its lair. As such, they have innate abilities that draw on the capabilities of the monster and its lair, and can call up fears from the collective human soul to leave their victims quivering wrecks. One particularly Lovecraftian power is Infestation, which allows a Beast with a suitable nightmare-soul to transform their body into a swarm of insects.
It's noted that a Beast's Atavisms (powers which essentially allow its human form to take on properties of its Soul for a moment) qualify for this in one of two different ways, depending on who's watching. Creatures with supernatural perception can see the Beast's human form sprout claws long enough to tear through metal, or turn into a dragon long enough to breath fire. Mortals, on the other hand, see an apparently ordinary man breathing fire or tearing through metal with his bare hands.
In Princess: The Hopeful, a lot of Darkened tend to develop abilities like this, such as growing a gigantic mouth filled with teeth, turning their arms into claws or spitting acid. Being warped by the All-Consuming Darkness will do that to your body.
Leviathan: The Tempest lets you play as an Eldritch Abomination. This should speak for itself.

The Whispers of the Old Gods expansion in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft added a lot of new cards that represent pre-existing cards - even Legendaries - imbued with the Old God's power, tentacles and all. Effects range from King Mukla giving you Bananas instead of to the opponent, or the Twisted Worgan's single extra point of Attack.

Alpha from Men in Black: The Series, due to grafting alien body parts onto himself. Whenever he looks like an ordinary human, you can bet he's really seconds away from sprouting tentacles - and less and less of him is human every time he reappears. Oh, and the aliens those parts came from? They didn't exactly volunteer to give them up. Worse, in his first form, he had actually stolen a few heads. And they are still alive within Alpha's body. They actually talk.

Alucard from Hellsing honestly resembles something much more disturbing than a traditional vampire, like a primordial being of chaos that personifies hunger and bloodlust. Appearing as an amorphous blob full of red eyes and sharp teeth, he can turn into an ocean of blood capable of drowning an entire city, its waves made up of wailing human bodies; those engulfed in the ocean wind up impaled on spikes. He carries scores of familiars whose body parts he can materialize into form, like deforming his arm into a snout, which can then hold and fire a gun; these familiars are all individuals he has consumed, and there are thousands of them.
And Alexander Anderson, once he plunges Helena's Nail into his chest, becomes a creature of endlessly propagating, thorny, strangling vines that cause anything unholy to burst into flame on contact. They can block bullets and immediately repair any injury Anderson takes, even the severing of his limbs or his entire head getting blown away.

YuYu Hakusho:
Elder Toguro has the power to manipulate his physical form. This allows him to form his body into any weapon imaginable, travel unseen through the ground by liquefying his body, avoid fatal injuries by shifting his organs around, reattach severed limbs, regenerate from any non-fatal wound, and so on. Later on his body mutates to the point where he becomes truly immortal, unable to die of age due to being a demon, and being able to regenerate from anything including injuries to the heart or brain and obliteration. Since he can't die, he ends up suffering from a Fate Worse than Death...
Younger Toguro bulks up as he uses more power. 100% has him going outright One-Winged Angel; his skin turns grey and his body becomes over-muscled to the point of deformity.

Dainsleif in Even Though I'm a Former Noble and Single Mother is a sword that allows its wielder to absorb the magical energy of those they kill. If it's used on a monster, only a small amount of energy is absorbed and it doesn't qualify for this trope. If it's used on a person, on the other hand, the wielder will absorb much more energy - more than their body can handle, transforming them into a massive multi-limbed monster that spawns more monsters.

Deadpool was an attempt to replicate Wolverine's Healing Factor that went wrong by having Wolverine's DNA injected into him. He had cancer that was killing him already, and they thought the healing factor would cure that. Unfortunately, the healing factor applied to his body and the cancer cells, so while his superhuman immune system is perfectly capable of killing the cancer, the cancer can recover and mutate just as quickly.

Some lucky Infected in Left 4 Dead gain considerable powers, at the expense of their... human appearance. May not apply because you can't "choose" to become a special infected, but the theory is there anyway.

In Vampire: The Requiem, a few of the bloodlines have these kind of abilities. Take the Carnival, whose special Discipline ranges from contortion tricks to merging with another vampire to form a hybrid. Or the Noctuku, who alter their flesh so they can absorb more blood and better digest vampiric flesh. Or the Norvegi, who lack fangs but make up for it by producing bony spines that allow them to feed through their fingers. Or...

The main characters in Eden Green are infected with an alien needle symbiote that keeps them alive no matter what. This results in some horrifying but useful mutations, such as when Eden falls from a cliff and her hand warps into a sick claw with which she can catch herself.
