Fan theory time.

The design seem to be inspired by.

In Cthulhu Mythos, the Wendigo myth is based on Ithaqua (in reality, of course, it's reverse), although if Kenkou really take that route, I think MGE wendigo are more likely to be his spawns than the Old One himself.

One gimmick Ithaqua has is that he sometime watch you from darkness or storm, and you only realize (already too late) that when you notice a pair of glowing eyes. Something that seem to fit here.
