Types

Horrors span 14 distinct categories, each with its unique place in the lore. Here's a look at the monstrous menagerie your Hunters might encounter:

  • Abyssal: Deep-sea dwellers hailing from the unfathomable depths of the earth's oceans, embodying the terror of the unknown beneath the waves.

  • Alien: Extraterrestrial beings that hail from the farthest reaches of space, bringing an otherworldly menace to our planet.

  • Anomaly: The oddballs of the Horror realm, these creatures defy all classifications, presenting challenges and mysteries that confound even the most seasoned Hunters.

  • Basal: Subterranean horrors residing in the intricate network of caves under the earth's crust, these creatures are as tough as the rock they call home.

  • Cryptid: Creatures that straddle the line between myth and reality, these elusive beings are often dismissed as mere folklore until they make their chilling presence known.

  • Demon: Malevolent entities from the netherworld, these infernal horrors embody the darkest aspects of existence.

  • Fea: Beings of natural magic, these mythical creatures bring the wild unpredictability of nature to life.

  • Human: Friends or foes, these are everyday individuals, some with extraordinary abilities, and others with dangerous intentions.

  • Humdrum: Regular animals as recognized by science, proving that the ordinary can sometimes be extraordinary.

  • Insectoid: Arthropodic nightmares with chitinous armor and alien instincts, these creatures can turn even the bravest hunter into a bug-phobe.

  • Opus: Artificial lifeforms created by human hands, these constructs serve as a stark reminder of humanity's capabilities, for better or worse.

  • Plant: From sentient carnivorous plants to bewitched trees, the flora of Obscured can be as deadly as the fauna.

  • Spectral: Ethereal beings from the spectral realm, these incorporeal entities blur the line between the living and the dead.

  • Undead: Those who cheat death, these reanimated beings bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "life after death".

Example

Overseer: "As you enter the cave, you spot a strange creature huddled in the corner. It's unlike anything you've ever seen."

David: "Is it an Abyssal? Or an Alien maybe?"

Overseer: "No, it's more of an Anomaly, really. It's as if nature threw a bunch of random limbs into a blender and this... thing is the result."

Amy: "Well, as long as it's not a Demon, I think we can handle it."

John: "Speak for yourself, Amy. I'd take a Demon over this little bundle of joy any day."
