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)
“When Sir Robert Walpole was dying, he told Ranby his surgeon that he desired his body might be opened. Ranby acting great horror cried, “Good God, my Lord, don’t talk of that!” “Nay,” said Sir Robert, “it will not be till I am dead, and that I shall not feel it—nor you neither.””
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“How often you, spurned, will run to my door, when your strong words shall have fallen into a sob, and a trembling horror will begin from your sad tears.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
