Details the smells, textures, climate/weather, etc. when you give descriptions to the PCs. For the aboleth, really dig into the description of its appearance and movement. Embellish on the mucous that drips from its body or the movement of its tentacles. Describe how it slides as it creeps forward. Krakens are just scary because of their sheer size and abilities. :)
