I'll be frank with you, sprite something different.
It's cool that you want to sprite a seemingly fairly unpopular/obscure zelda boss, but looking at his video I couldn't imagine guys twice as good as you doing it justice.
It's probably easier for both you and people trying to help you to sprite something with much much more definition, as this guy's just so odd and surreal that it's just not easy to work with due to that alone.
Either way, as for some actual crits:
This guy's organic, man, organic,; Your sprite is extremely bland and seen entirely from the side, his colours are pure white and in no way "gross" at all, He looks more like some piece of modern art my mother would buy for decoration than some sort of creepy (pseudo)-faceless mass of death.
Some noticeable stuff is the fact that the seperate arm is waay too straight and the hand waay too huge compared to the actual guy, and on the guy himself the arms are pointing foreward and surprisingly similar to the pose of an actual arm; In the game they're flopping around sideways like the guy's a headless chicken, he looks like he's got little to no bodily control and that all his limbs are just twitched back in an unconfortable position, that's the stuff that makes him creepy.
I see none of this creepy stuff in your sprite, and honestly think that a few small fixes won't do much to change that.
Hope this post helps,
peace out.
