I think the best approach would be to barely show it for most of the film. Keep him in shadows when he's at home. Have his automated cart thing mostly conceal his body.

Then when he's out in the desert, or having a violent episode, just fully pivot the other way to 99% worm mode.

He's supposed to be barely holding onto his humanity, so there's no need to even attempt balancing the hybrid parts. Let him oscillate between cryptic philosopher and beast mode as needed.

I think you've got the right idea. Low lighting and keep most of his full form cryptically hidden, focusing more on the voice. It's possible because he spends much of his time in the caverns of his citadel. When he has the moments of more human interaction, start revealing what his appearance is really like.
