They are both large white creatures. Neither of them has eyes, and from what I can tell neither of them has legs.
Beyond their physical forms, their roles in their respective stories hold some similarities as well. The Experiment is some kind of powerful being that sent BOB, an evil spirit, into the corporeal world.
