Grotesques were a fantastic genre of decorative arts most common in the 16th & 17th centuries. They explored a blend of animal, plant, & human forms. These elements were found in ancient Roman grottoes. Over time, the word became over-exaggerated & developed a negative meaning.

Notre art peint d'éclatants tableaux
L'épée devient alors un pinceau
Chaque blessure nourrit cette fresque
A jamais sur le corps de ces adversaires grotesques
Ainsi resplendit le style Kogan !

So while I was designing demon types for my setting, I was thinking on having a Mob type of demon which are Grotesques based on medieval demons, weak on their own, but through the overconsumption of other demons grow into demonic Chimeras, triple de size and far more vicious.

Elder Wing!
Aliens attack and our only hope is to combine our brutal and ancient occult into our military force to fight back! Our best pilots sacrifice themselves by interlocking with ghoulish body horror to control winged grotesques that slash the skies!

I guess the otherworldliness of the environment to Chihiro is conveyed through how un-eastern it looks. Yubaba is strangest of all so her whole look goes beyond Chinese and into European, aping the Carricatured English Etchings which were directly inspired by Japanese Grotesques

C'est hallucinant À la frontière des genres, entre documentaire et fiction, le film offre de véritables séquences horrifiques, grotesques et macabres. Une étude de la représentation artistique du mal, du traitement de la sorcière sous l'inquisition et de la superstition.
