Apart from “being summoned” yeah. No desire or consciousness just a thing that modifies everything around it by nature. It doesn’t care that it drives animals insane or turns them into monsters, because it’s probably not aware of what an animal is to begin with.

Also kinda coincidental that Color Out of Space makes plants bigger. Before we had better gene editing methods, scientists used radiation to trigger mutations plants attempting to find some mutations that, among other things, made the fruit bigger lol
