+ | The '''Horrors''' (ホラー, ''Horā'') are demon-like creatures that originate from the [[Makai Realm]] and feed on humans once they crossover, clashing with the Makai Order which protects humanity. They are able to escape to Earth when a person accumulates enough darkness to create an [[Inga Gates|Inga Gate]] from which they exit and possess the person. |

+ | In the original continuity, it is explained that Horrors are the manifestation of negative and dark energies by man. Whenever there's a great build-up of hate, rage, sadism, and acts of violence are committed, these negative energies seep into the [[Makai Realm]], a place where the Horrors exist and feed on such energy. Legend speaks that it was [[Messiah]], the mother of all Horrors that gave birth to this demonic race and its spawn has continued to thrive without their progenitor for generations. Drawn to negative energies and human flesh, Horrors break into the mortal realm to feast upon humanity. Only the Makai Knights and Makai Priests have kept their advances at bay. |

+ | The most common form of Horror is a black skeletal monster with small dark wings, Inga Horrors originate from the makai (demon) world and are attracted to the human world by the darkness inside the human heart. Their travel to Earth is made possible by a [[Inga Gates|Inga Gate]], a random object that has been filled with darkness over the years. Built up negativity in relation to the darkness of the owner or present of a dark moment in history will create the gate. Inga Gates are activated once a human (usually with high levels of darkness) comes in physical contact with it. From there, attracted by such inga (darkness), the emerging Horror forcefully merges into that person's body and consumes the host's soul while using the body as its own. The horror emerges in its basic demon form and later adapt a stronger form, typically themed after the gate it emerged from. While humans with pure hearts that normally wouldn't fall victim to a possession, Horrors can bypass this if the targeted person has any form of momentary deep rage or sorrow. Alternatively, they appear in moments of desperation. When the person is trapped in a bad situation that they willingly allow the horror to consume them for "help." |
| ⚫ | In some cases, if there is a common goal or the targeted human's ideals fascinate it, the Horror and its host can enter a symbiotic relationship, where the Horror can fulfill its host's darkest desire(s). In such cases, the person is still of sound and mind. However, depending on the bond, the Horror may share their body or one dominates over the person. The possessed human is technically dead the moment a Horror enters them, for as soon as the Horror is defeated, because of this forced unification, the possessed body is killed in the process. However, there are cases where Horrors end up residing in animals and objects that happen to be nearby instead of human bodies. Even in non-traditional forms, Horrors possess mulitiple ways where they can feed. When taking the form of an animal, the Horror can manipulate a human to do its bidding. As an object, like a watch, it can take advantage of people's greed, where it allows itself to be taken and either posses the body or devour it. There are a few cases where multiple Horrors can enter one human body should the person have a vast amount of inner darkness to stir up a Horror feeding frenzy. |

| ⚫ | There are telltale signs of a human who has converted into a Horror's host, the first being pale green eyes after a Madou Lighter is used. Other signs include the Horror-possessed humans' own behavior where they immediately drop their human facade upon cornering their prey (which moreso, should the said prey's body had been stained by Horror blood and yet to be cleansed by Baranka fruits). Even with their capacity of blending with normal humans, those with keen perception are able to see through a Horror's human facade: The young [[Raiga Saejima|Raiga]] correctly deduced a woman to be possessed by a Horror due to her reading her a book not under a streetlight in the 17th episode of [[GARO: The Makai Flower|The Makai Flower]]. Being dark creatures, most, if not all Horrors, are nocturnal beings who become more active during the night. |

The only way to cure a person from corruption due to the exposure of Horror's blood is by consuming [[Baranka Fruits]]. Such a treatment, however, only works if the infection with Horror's blood is made through physical contact. Corruption resulting from ingesting Horror blood is far more severe, so much so that those who suffer this fate, named [[Dolce of Blood]], can only be saved through death. Compared to those stained by Horror Blood whom only showed symptoms in the form of agonizing pain once 100th days drawing near, the bodies of those who contracted Blood Dolces painfully decompose in an accelerated rate, with a sticky blood-like substance covering the skin. |

To kill Horrors in this sense would require Knights to purify their swords at a Watchdog Castle, where their essence are turned into daggers. After twelve Horror Daggers are accumulated, they are sent back to the Makai where the Horror is eventually reborn with the cycle of its entry into the human world repeating itself. |

| − | The origins of Horrors within Ryūga's universe are about the same. However, there's no mention of [[Messiah]]; it's unclear if Horrors have a progenitor or have existed due to man's existence. While the origins of [[Soul Metal]] in this universe does explain where does their it originates from, [[Zedom]]. Because there are at least two types of horrors, the traditional horrors are labeled as Inga-Horrors and the artificially created ones are named [[Madō Horrors]]. Inga Horrors and [[Madō Horrors]] both share the [[Makai Language]], but neither side show any degree of loyalty for each other. Both are loyal to only their own causes and may only cooperate when it suits their needs, but can betray each other when their mutual interests no longer align. |
||

| − | Traditionally, the strongest of horrors often take the form of a beautiful and deadly woman. However, as a noticeable inversion, the most powerful horrors tends to take a male form like General of Massacre Horror [[Zedom]] and Fallen Makai Knight [[Jinga]]. A major difference though is that these Horrors seemed to have evolved differently. They have bifurcated jaws that open up when a Horror, while in human form, is about to feed or screams in pain. Despite the jaws, some Horrors have different feeding methods that reflect their abilities and unique forms. The trait of biruficated jaws seems to be exclusive for the [[Ryūga-verse]] continuity as their counterparts in anime universe and Kouga's universe never displayed such traits. |

After Gald confirms the Horror is not Radan, Rian lures the monster out of the swamp so she and Ryuga can hold it off while Gald seals the swamp to keep the Horror from retreating back to the water. Though the Horror nearly overwhelmed them, Ryuga noticed a crack he made in the Horror's carapace and has Rian delay his [[Garo (Ryūga-verse Armor)|Garo armor]] so he can be in a position for the armor to do the most damage.

Instead of using the saplings to make Soul Metal, Tousei uses it to convert those he deemed the strongest to become his faithful acolytes to kill and protect him. |

The Horrors (ホラー, Horā) are demon-like creatures that originate from the Makai Realm and feed on humans once they crossover, clashing with the Makai Order which protects humanity. They are able to escape to Earth when a person accumulates enough darkness to create an Inga Gate from which they exit and possess the person.
Description & Characteristics
In the original continuity, it is explained that Horrors are the manifestation of negative and dark energies by man. Whenever there's a great build-up of hate, rage, sadism, and acts of violence are committed, these negative energies seep into the Makai Realm, a place where the Horrors exist and feed on such energy. Legend speaks that it was Messiah, the mother of all Horrors that gave birth to this demonic race and its spawn has continued to thrive without their progenitor for generations. Drawn to negative energies and human flesh, Horrors break into the mortal realm to feast upon humanity. Only the Makai Knights and Makai Priests have kept their advances at bay.
An Inga Horror
The most common form of Horror is a black skeletal monster with small dark wings, Inga Horrors originate from the makai (demon) world and are attracted to the human world by the darkness inside the human heart. Their travel to Earth is made possible by a Inga Gate, a random object that has been filled with darkness over the years. Built up negativity in relation to the darkness of the owner or present of a dark moment in history will create the gate. Inga Gates are activated once a human (usually with high levels of darkness) comes in physical contact with it. From there, attracted by such inga (darkness), the emerging Horror forcefully merges into that person's body and consumes the host's soul while using the body as its own. The horror emerges in its basic demon form and later adapt a stronger form, typically themed after the gate it emerged from. While humans with pure hearts that normally wouldn't fall victim to a possession, Horrors can bypass this if the targeted person has any form of momentary deep rage or sorrow. Alternatively, they appear in moments of desperation. When the person is trapped in a bad situation that they willingly allow the horror to consume them for "help."
In some cases, if there is a common goal or the targeted human's ideals fascinate it, the Horror and its host can enter a symbiotic relationship, where the Horror can fulfill its host's darkest desire(s). In such cases, the person is still of sound and mind. However, depending on the bond, the Horror may share their body or one dominates over the person. The possessed human is technically dead the moment a Horror enters them, for as soon as the Horror is defeated, because of this forced unification, the possessed body is killed in the process. However, there are cases where Horrors end up residing in animals and objects that happen to be nearby instead of human bodies. Even in non-traditional forms, Horrors possess mulitiple ways where they can feed. When taking the form of an animal, the Horror can manipulate a human to do its bidding. As an object, like a watch, it can take advantage of people's greed, where it allows itself to be taken and either posses the body or devour it. There are a few cases where multiple Horrors can enter one human body should the person have a vast amount of inner darkness to stir up a Horror feeding frenzy.
There are telltale signs of a human who has converted into a Horror's host, the first being pale green eyes after a Madou Lighter is used. Other signs include the Horror-possessed humans' own behavior where they immediately drop their human facade upon cornering their prey (which moreso, should the said prey's body had been stained by Horror blood and yet to be cleansed by Baranka fruits). Even with their capacity of blending with normal humans, those with keen perception are able to see through a Horror's human facade: The young Raiga correctly deduced a woman to be possessed by a Horror due to her reading her a book not under a streetlight in the 17th episode of The Makai Flower. Being dark creatures, most, if not all Horrors, are nocturnal beings who become more active during the night.
Horror's blood is very hazardous. Not only can it aggravate nearby Horror, but it can also painfully kill those who are drenched with it after a 100 days. The only way to cure a person from corruption due to the exposure of Horror's blood is by consuming Baranka Fruits. Such a treatment, however, only works if the infection with Horror's blood is made through physical contact. Corruption resulting from ingesting Horror blood is far more severe, so much so that those who suffer this fate, named Dolce of Blood, can only be saved through death. Compared to those stained by Horror Blood whom only showed symptoms in the form of agonizing pain once 100th days drawing near, the bodies of those who contracted Blood Dolces painfully decompose in an accelerated rate, with a sticky blood-like substance covering the skin.
Ultimately, Horrors are never truly killed as their essence are sealed within a Makai Blade after their defeat. To kill Horrors in this sense would require Knights to purify their swords at a Watchdog Castle, where their essence are turned into daggers. After twelve Horror Daggers are accumulated, they are sent back to the Makai where the Horror is eventually reborn with the cycle of its entry into the human world repeating itself.
At the beginning of the conflict, Makai Priests came into being to fend off the Horrors. It was until discovery of special alloy with mystical powers called Soul Metal that the Makai Order learned to develop these alloys and weaponize it in the form of Makai Knights who would be the primary fighting force against the Horrors.
