* Horrors. They are a group of entities from the depths of astral space. Every few thousand years, when the magical field permeating the Earth is at its strongest, they return to our world to feed. On everything. If they don't eat the mountainside (and you with it), they torture you mentally and physically for sustenance and fun. And the threat of death, MindRape and actual rape are really the least you have to worry about in the [[AndIMustScream long run]] with their guys; they'll gladly have you as a self-aware [[PeoplePuppets puppet]] (forever) with a bad case of BodyHorror who will kill and/or otherwise do [[FateWorseThanDeath unspeakable things]] to your friends and loved ones in order to feed your new master. And the torment it puts you through is dessert. They might even corrupt your psyche and everlasting soul, and turn you into [[TheVirus one of them]]. And don't study up on them too much to find out their (few) weaknesses, it can [[SpeakOfTheDevil get their attention]]. And they exist in ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}''.

* The 'Horrors' book. According to the dragon legends a Horror called Verjigorm created the first Dragon by accident while sprouting all kind of Horrors. Now he's hunting them and corrupting even while the magic level is too low for other Horrors. There is also Nebis, whose name is a nice case of SpeakOfTheDevil, and who rebuilds himself from the bodies of those who have slain his physical body. Or Ristul, who isn't an actual entity, but the corruption itself. And those aren't the most interesting ones. If you look up the Earthdawn bestiary, you'll see that even cows and rabbits can be nightmarish.

This is what happened when he ''learned what the books were '''called''''' - he hadn't even translated a single word of the actual ''text!''
