Horror

The incarnation of the Vice

Horrors are abomination creatures born from the wasteland where Aurial faced the Primordials. They appear mainly as a shapeless blob of strange, unrecognisable and uncategorisable matter. However, with time, a single one can and usually will obtain a specific form and stick to it. Horrors cannot reproduce by themselves. They can either be created or transform (corrupt) another something into a horror. Horrors appear at and dwell in places great tragedies happened, or large massacres leave many unburrowed deads with no last rites (a communion or Viaticum!) given; places where much sorrow accumulated through time (prisons, tormentor chambers), or similar. It is unknown if the circumstances create a new horror or if they summon one (or more) from other (remote) realms. Usually, horrors classify into three main sub-categories:

Consumed

Consumed were objects, animals and even humans that fall under the corruption of horror and start turning into one. They kept many of their original traits and abilities, such as form, habits, and preferences, but these things slowly are fading away.

True horrors

True horrors have the same constant form all the time, but it varies from one to another. They obey primary instincts and spread "horrification". They both can be fully assimilated "consumed horrors" or transformed "ancient horrors".

Ancient horrors

Ancient horrors, or The Horrors, are the primal form of horrors. They have some vague shapes that can change. Usually, the change is slow through time, but sometimes it can happen quickly, forced by circumstances. Ancient - or primal - Horrors differ little from a natural force in their behaviour. Their only instincts are to devour and corrupt. There are no plans or preparation, only actions.
