Naahh It wouldnt be too hard to design a unique phorid. Ive got plenty of ideas just thinking on horror creatures in general.

Imagine there being multiple grineer and corpus helmed heads covering several parts of the frontal part of his body, each one giving off an effect when phorid charges up (eyes glowing, helms emitting blue particals, etc.) Give him a blackout ability and those eyes will look creepy as hell if the lighting is done properly. And screw phorid having an actual head. Oh no. Think a giant gaping maw that digs deep into his body and could easily be used devour your frame in one shot. Something to really make you feel that roar. Have a series of teeth and inner bones showing within, along with various arms and legs and such dangling about within. And to help keep the look that hes really screwed up, give him a couple extra mutation legs, ones that are useless and stubby in comparison to his larger more powerful legs. All thats really left to be done is replace his front feet with with a series of bone spikes and infection, and call it good.

This is only one idea of many as well. Infection give many many paths to take in design, and really leaves no limitation in structure.

I think Phorid should be something of nightmares. Hes the largest thing that we see regularly, and is only second to Laphantis in size, and his design is literally just a bunch of crap meshed together. Make it look like he was formed legion style, slowly swelling larger and larger as his body literally consumed others until he looks the way he does today.
