Contact sound effects, as in contact microphone recordings. A contact mic hears through the object rather than the air, so you get the vibration inside the material itself: faint buzzes, deep rumbles and textures you'd never hear standing next to the thing. Some of it is microscopic. Some is big, like metal struck inside a ship's storeroom, caught by a contact mic as well as the usual ones.

Contact recordings are raw material more than finished sounds. Pitch them down and layer them, and a Strike on a metal wall turns into a hull under strain, or a quiet vibration becomes the breath of something enormous. Because the mic only hears the object, there's almost no room in the sound, so it sits under other layers without muddying them. Mixed with the air mics, a hammer hit or a Chain Rattle gets weight and ring together. There's even a corn field, recorded through specialist mics for texture and rumble. It all suits horror, sci-fi and creature design.
