When it comes to things like the birth of universes which we can't really understand, and which is eons removed from our common experience, it makes sense for the corresponding being to be amorphous, just barely recognizable as a creature.
Current arceus' design is very regal and ceremonial, like it's meant to be seen by human eyes, and animal-like, like it's adapted to live in a terrestrial environment.
In my perfect world, beta arceus would be revealed as some sort of origin form present in the early universe, wheras his current form was adapted later for the purpose of ruling over the pantheon and creation, and the duties and rituals that come with that. Maybe the form was assummed when the first Judgement had to be made
