Smaller Horrors

Smaller horrors are the most basic type of eldritch creature. They can only telepathically speak Eldritch up to 30 ft. away and have an eldritch presence. According to the The Eldritch Classification Guide they are listed under lesser horrors, and are the most commonly spotted eldritch creature in Thera. After being studied by the Veil Research Team of the Eldritch Containment Association, they have been discovered to be made of the least amount of mana out of all the eldritch creatures.
