* Horrors!

* Giftbringer: The Stephen King homage.

* Almost certainly inspired by 1991’s Needful Things.

* Entry written by victim/survivor.

* The Horror feeds off aggression and violence, kindled by
jealousy.

* Powerful illusion powers, masquerades as a travelling peddler
or merchant and targets small, isolated communities.

* Sells items, then manipulates people’s desires to covet each
other’s possessions.

* Dark reflections of Chorrolis?

* Natural form is shiny-skinned, winged, pterodactyl/wyvern
form.

* Will flee if revealed, but it is a physically potent Horror.

* Trinkets and goods are worthless, masked by illusions.

* Powers: Clarion Call, Gift, Horror Mark, Karma Tap.

* Stat block overview.

* Example of adapting tropes and ideas from other sources.

* Using in adventures and campaigns.

* Doesn’t usually target player characters, they will come
across its plots and manipulations.

* Classic or traditional Horror in many respects; straightforward,
but subtle tactics.

* Ubyr: The Kaiju Horror

* Massive, worm-like Horror that hunts and haunts the Serpent
River network.

* Four hundred yards long, can stretch up to seven hundred yards.

* Boiling acidic blood, does significant armor-ignoring damage
to any exposed to it.

* Can sense beings within 30 feet of any part of its body.

* Mainly aquatic but can travel on land just as easily.

* Responsible for the destruction of numerous t’ksrang kaers and
citadels.

* Siphon Will: If Ubyr is able to envelop a structure, it drains
the life of all victims within.

* Rapidly drains attribute points, rather than dealing damage.

* Not many powers, its Horror Mark is only used to track victims
that have escaped it.

* Very physically potent.

* Using Ubyr in adventures and campaigns.
