Victivius is one such being. In his unaltered form, mortals are driven mad or outright killed just by being in his presence. Even when he chooses to interact with mortals in a lesser state, the miasma from just that tiny fraction of his presence is enough to corrupt and destroy. So on the rare occasions when he does, he wills it directly.

The Raven Queen is similar in that the sheer reality-distorting effects of her presence would have ill effects on mortals, so she chooses to communicate through dreams, visions or omens.

I wouldn't exactly call either of those cosmic horror though, as true cosmic horror requires that the beings in question are unknowable in any way. Or at least the poor human is driven mad simply by knowing how insignificant he is by comparison. Well, isn't that pretty close to it ? The fact that you can't even stand around said gods without yourself being 'discombobulated' in any shape or form ? I dunno, I'm used to gods in fiction as being more... aproachable, at least the ones that interact with mortals often. And those kind of gods you said lean more on 'abominable' in my opinion (I mean, it's even too dangerous to stand around them so yeah)
