Horror

Horrors are non-human electroplasmic entities that live within the ghost field. They’re very rare within the city, but are common in the deathlands beyond the lightning barriers. [1]: 252
Some ancient rituals of the forgotten gods can rend the veil between worlds and usher in an alien creature that serves the deity. Horrors such as these rarely resemble any normal living thing—they may appear as a drifting toxic cloud, a twisting mass of pulsing viscera, floating crystalline shards, or other bizarre configurations.
Horrors are intensely powerful and highly resistant to harm. They may only persist in this world for a short time, however. Their alien forms cannot sustain life for long outside their native realm and they inevitably decay to dust or ooze in the span of a few hours or days.
Ghosts, demons, and summoned horrors can be terrifying to behold. They cause most people who see them to freeze up or flee. [1]: 213
