No, I do not think we have seen the last of giant, radiation mutated ants....At least, I hope not!

We'll probably see quite a bit more of them. They're supporting Oasis on their 2009 tour.

I think they won't be back for a long time; per the Dragonheart Trilogy of novels, Dunkie now spends all his time running around stopping them from crossing the chasm from the netherworld to our world...

well, he is breaking down bridges being built, yes.
but the chasm itself gets smaller over time, so they will some day simply not need a bridge to come over and play nasty.
granted, that's probably not going to happen before SR5 D20 gets released, but eh . .

Perhaps Verjigorm's "HAY GUYZ LOL LETS LET OUT THEY KORRUPTED DRAGONS HAWHAW" plan will be put into action. A horror corrupted dragon running around (a confirmed one, anway) would be awesome just so the Shadowrun world has a Satan aside from Aztechnology/Colloton. Avatars of the Horrors in the Sixth World, able to bring over lesser horrors under a tightly proscribed set of circumstances.

A man can dream.

OK, horror corrupted dragon in SR4 would be incredibly cool, escpecially if they did it subtly. With the kind of political influence a lot of dragons weild, it could do a lot of damage before anyone even realised what it was up to.

I'm inclined to agree with GreyBrother. I really don't want to see anything of the Horrors in Shadowrun. There are enough possible evils floating around already from Corps to Shedim to Sentient Paracritters to Metahumanity itself. A little imagination can make anything evil...

Horrors? We don't need no stinking Horrors!

Sorry, I had to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)

Additional question (rhetorical):
Where did Shedim come from, and what are they, given that they are not typical spirits, and are pretty similar to Wraiths in terms of feeding habits?

The Enemy is already around. Just not en masse.

Would that be the Aztechnology great feathered serpent with the black patches in its aura?

I believe the shedim are a form of horror too.

If we think about the time gap betwen the SR timeline and our own it's easy to deduce that the game time is kept at a fixed distance of 62-63 years in the future (like they didn't explicitly stated it), so it's probable that we will see the horrors arriving in about 2000-2500 years from now.

Well, being the Big Bang the act of creation of the universe, yes the Big D came after; unless you mean the clock tower in London, in which case the dragon came much before it, and was found running around Denver sometimes after it was built.
If what you did mean was the Big D going boom well, no; but there's a wyvern that looks remarcably like him that calls the Chicago's CZ home. What's the meaning of it I know not, so don't ask.

You forget, humanity's use of Corrupt metamagics has accelerated this 'bridging' (pun intended) dramatically. This is what led to the Big D sacrificing himself.

Given recent events/progression of magic, I suspect it will be a lot sooner than you think....

(Imagine a campaign where they started to arrive..!).

"Just another day in the barens. Better than normal; you managed to kill and cook a devil rat this morning. Your neighbours are all screaming for some reason in tones that suggest ultimate suffering. Glancing out the window you see fires and mind twisting horrors from nowhere in the universe devouring the matter of the world and others tormenting yet more metahumans. This is probably the megacorps fault."

I recommend reading the Aztlan Sourcebook (or AniH´s file on it), then the short story on the sr4-page. I must say that I see an old plot continued, and in a way that might affect street-level shadowrun - without getting world-saving, or obviously an ED thing. (I will now lock the fanboy self in the basement, be back in a minute.)

Uh... Blackpool? What do you think the Shedim and especially Master Shedim are?

We're seeing Horrors in SR now. The scary part is that the Shedim/Master shedim are minor Horrors. Not Named. I shudder to think at what a Named Horror could do in the SR world.

The Enemy is a myth perpetuated by those who would instill fear in the hearts of all good, hard-working citizens and who seek to destabilize the economic foundations which have led to the prosperity of the Sixth World. They do not exist. Move along.
