A theory I have is that the multiple tentacles going out in different places represent the paths of fate, and that the eyes represent insight, while the crab claws represent the point where you have been trapped by the "beauty" of forbidden knowledge. Another theory I have is that his  disgusting look (The tentacles, the eyes, the crab claws which he has in Oblivion) is to signify the true form of forbidden knowledge and fate, it's ugly, however you look for it anyway.
