Horror
Not a distinct race by itself, 'Horror' instead refers to a wide variety of grotesque beings, ranging from the insectoid mercenaries of Mercadia's Cateran Guild to the twisted outcasts of the Urborg swamps to the abominable nightmare creatures summoned by the Dementia Casters of Otaria from the depths of their own minds. In other cases a horror is a member of another species that has become deeply corrupted by evil influences.

Famous quotes containing the word horror:
“All grandeur, all power, all subordination to authority rests on the executioner: he is the horror and the bond of human association. Remove this incomprehensible agent from the world and at that very moment order gives way to chaos, thrones topple and society disappears.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
“In sorrow by thy bier we stand,
Amid the awe that hushes all,
And speak the anguish of a land
That shook with horror at thy fall.”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
