In one of my games, my player witnessed an orc get possessed by an unidentified shadowy object. When the orc was destroyed, the object emerged and took on the appearance of a long dead friend of the player.
Object was completely unaffected by efforts to restrain it, enchanted crossbow bolts passed right through it, and true seeing showed the object in the above mentioned appearance.
It doesn't register as magical, and even though it seems incapable of touching the bolts or being affected by them, it looks solid.
My idea is that this object(it isn't an entity) is a primordial force older than the gods and predating the existence of magic in its current form.
For what reason might true seeing not show its true form? If it has no true form, would it appear as invisible?
The object is meant to be beyond mortal or divine comprehension.
The object is a manifestation of Evil as a cosmic force; Evil in its most primal state.
