Pretty much any flavor of Terror will have a detrimental effect on the victim's sanity if you take enough levels and the dice go your way...

The only difference is that failures go to the Awe and Confusion Check Table (p. 85)." ... BUT ... "Godlike beings often have the "irresistible attack" level of Cosmic (p. B103). Victims get no benefit from advantages such as Fearlessness or Unfazeable (unless those traits are Cosmic)..."
