Horrors

Horrors are a fictional intelligent demon-like species unique to role-playing world of Earthdawn and, less commonly, Shadowrun, as well as Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.

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.
