let's see
IN MOVIES
>everything in the movie is going on as normal>the movie has it's own set of, mostly visual, rules>suddenly, an object, character, or simply a different visual is introduced>the visual is used to highlight the change in prospective and/or creating a feeling of otherworldliness, mystery, and fear, or maybe wonder, or surprise>some may say this is something that breaks the immersion in the film, but it can be used really well>example: in the beginning of Oz, the movie is in black and white, then suddenly it becomes full color.that's a bit different tough... mmh...
>let's say a book has been third person the whole way through, and had a middle-to-high style of writing.>as we descend into the dreams or perspective of a different character, everything shifts into first person, with low and colloquial words and phrases.What i'm trying to say, is that UBs are not designed to inspire feelings of "cool" and "familiarity".
Theyr porpouse is to inspire feelings of "unsettlement", "creepyness", "otherworldliness", and "primordial repulsion".
Humans are, generally, creeped out by a set of facial features or lack thereof, strange and unsettling movements, and warped body proportions.
Prime case, bamboo woman. that thing is freaky.
long and thin neck with little to no facial features, but still moves around in a human manner. that can cause to some people a feeling of extreme creepyness. Usually, this is referred to as "uncanny valley". Since everyone, mainly, has theyr own "trigger" for "uncanny valley", they made different kinds of these creatures, all with proportions and movemente that, at least untill you get used to it, are "creepy" and "eerie".
Bamboo has creepy neck and face
Origami has creepy body rigidity and movements
Electric wire guy creeped out many for it's lack of facial features
of course, jellyfish and 02s are less creepy, but that's mainly because they were to be used as "advertisement"
