Horrors are a fictional intelligent
demon-like species unique to
role-playing
world of
Earthdawn and,
less commonly,
Shadowrun.
Origin
In the
Earthdawn
universe,
magic
goes through cycles. As the magic level rises, it allows Horrors to
cross from their distant, otherworldly
dimension into the human's
world. The Horrors come in an almost infinite variety -- from
simple eating machines that devour all they encounter, to
incredibly intelligent and cunning foes that feed off the negative
emotions they inspire in their prey.
