{{Infobox |image = Horror3.png |health = 700 |damage = 84 (6 pellets) |attacktype = Projectile |firstappearance = E3M4 }} The '''Horror''' is an [[Enemies|enemy]] encountered in [[The Nameless City]]. They make their first appearance in '''E3M4: Crypt of the Flesh''' and make appearances in several levels that follow. == Appearance == Horrors resemble red humanoids that have hollow eye sockets, elongated mouths, and skinny limbs. Parts of their extremities are webbed, giving them an appearance similar to that of a frog. Their most notable feature is their mouth, which is grossly disproportionate to their body. Horrors fly back when killed and violently curl up in a ball when they land, emitting a sound similar to bones being snapped during the process. This can be interpreted as a very brutal rigor mortis. == Tactical Analysis == While idle, Horrors will breathe heavily through their open mouths. This gives away their position to players, similarly to the [[Leatherneck]]'s idle breathing. Once a player is spotted, they will gasp and start to run towards the player, flailing their arms as they do so. Their primary attack consists of spitting green projectiles (possibly acid or phlegm) in a spread similar to that of the [[Possessed Scarecrow]]. This attack is extremely high-damage up close, but the spread falls off with distance. Horrors also have a high health pool of 700hp, making them a tough enemy to beat. Horrors are weak to stronger weapon types, such as the [[Super Shotgun]], [[Hunting Rifle]], and [[Riveter]]. Most of these weapons will kill a horror in two to three shots, but the Super Shotgun acquired in E3M4 is capable of dispatching them in two point-blank shots. Additionally, the [[Sword]] can be useful for reflecting a Horror's attack back at them, which can be enough to kill them in a single point-blank reflect. == Lore == Jakob states in E3M4 that "The closer they got, the more they suffered" may be a note that the Horrors are other Intruders who failed and have been brutalized into becoming a Horror. == Trivia == *The Horror's amphibian appearance may have something to do with the protagonist's fear/dislike of frogs, as is stated in [[E3M7: Homecoming]]. *The idle breathing of the Horrors encountered in E3M4 can give the false illusion that the level, which has fleshy spiracles in some wall textures, is breathing. *The Horror is similar to SCP-096 in both appearance and mannerisms, as both are emaciated, deformed, pale figures that relentlessly charge at their targets. *A Horror appears in chapter 3 of FAITH: THE UNHOLY TRINITY, whom Jakob gifted his associate Gary as a pet for him that the latter uses to guard his personal quarters from intruders. Unlike its counterpart, this Horror moves slower and does not have its spit attack, although it makes up for it by being able to kill the player instantaneously upon contact. == Gallery == <gallery> File:Horror-e3m4.jpg </gallery> [[Category:DUSK]] [[Category:Enemies]] [[Category:Frog]]
