Evidence.
Page 122 PAONA
The opening of Nomad states
The Nomad is an astral being . It manifests as a patch of darkness about .5 meters across. It manifests only to attack. On the astral it apears as a amoeboid creature of impenetrable blackness that is perhaps 1.5 meters across.
The text explains that it posses a host induceing a homicidal rage . Which the nomad usses to feed on the life force of the beings killed by the possessed .The only way to identify one is by astral where it apears as a dark blight on the person or animals aura .
Totally unrelated . We just had an earthquake .
Powers are listed as Compulshion( Homicidal Mania) Essens Drain( Modified)Imunity to normal weapons , and Manifestation .
The kicker is that all of the info is credited to Dunklezahn. Who makes his first post in this book on page 175 .
So is this a Horror ? Has there ever been confirmation ?If it is , is this the first confirmation in canon of them?

They may be minor Horrors. Certainly, beings fitting this description were known in Barsaive shortly before the Scourge.

It may not be a true horror, but more like a construct.

Kind of like a horror servant. Not a true horror per se.
The horrors created lots of contructs to harass the mortal world and act as cannon fodder.

Has any one ever done a conversion of the Horrors to Shadowrun? Stats wise I mean.

Yes, and I've had to play it by ear with each and try to find the right balance for each creature.

I have all mine penciled in to my Earthdawn and Horrors book, just for those special days I really want to screw with my players.
If you want, I could try to make a soft copy list. Can't garauntee it immediately though. Between work and current campaign AND writing to story for it I'm kinda swamped.
