Sorta, kinda, yeah. Her essence is kinda spread out amidst the planes.
Thanks for all the responces and conversions of Horrors from ED to SR. Should allow me to come up with a pretty nice classic horror campaign in SR.
Am looking at the lesser horrors as something to slip into the game slowly. The main idea is to start the game pretty normal but slowly have the world become more and more dark and dangerous in a way that the corps and main stream shadow runners can ignore but not the team. They will keep getting hired to do jobs that put them in a position to notice something is going on that the rest of the shadow community is unaware of or treat as urban legend. Am thinking of having a major Horror trapped on earth in a cell beneath the Rocky Mountains unable to escape but awakend by the GGD that is slowly reaching out and influnceing the surrounding nations towards open conflict. As NAN, the Tir, Cas and Ucas would in the case of open warfare use major magic the resulting increase in mana could release the trapped horror and possibly allow it to call others across. Still needs some work but you get the idea.
Hmm... those stats seem kinda rough. In ED, it appears that horrors, when they're killed (and unless they're astral only), are equally vulnerable to magic and weapons. In fact, by the way the rules work, weapons are probably preferred to magic in many cases. But even in the first story in the main book a group of four characters take down a fairly powerful horror using only melee weapons.
Given the fact that our melee weapons are far, far superior to what we had thousands of years ago, and our ranged weapons are even better than that, it seems to me that the armor ratings and the body ratings should be significantly lower than what we have listed here. 20 body for a big monkey? Seems peculiar, to say the least. Magic wise though, I suspect a horror would still win almost hands down.

Take a look at how their stats stack up compared to Earthdawn characters (and even other magical creatures), though -- and remember, those guys that killed the Horror in that ED fiction were all Adepts. Think about the sort of close combat power they could bring to bear, SR tech changes don't count for that much.
Really, Horrors are just plain badass. Look through their basic stats -- not even their powers or magical skills or anything, just their basic strength, toughness, what-have-you -- in the Earthdawn rulebook sometime, and then compare those numbers to the ones you'll find for, as a for instance, Dragons. You'll see how tough Horrors are.

Given the fact that almost all ED melee weapons worth using were powerful magical foci that would make the manliest of melee adepts squeal with delight, flying lead will do little to them.
Well, Big D and Halequinn felt that technology was worth 'something' against them, more so than anything the 4th age was able to muster. Or is that pure conjecture at this point?
Bullets may not be all that effective, but what about chemicals, massive destruction weapons, or better yet, tech that keeps people alive more...reflexes, armor, etc.
Thermonuclear devices, spam, celaphane, polyurethane, lead-based paint, etc.
I see the pro-Horror folk are getting ready for round 2, eh?
Anyway, if 20 Armor on a horror seems bad, just remember that there are nice autocannons in R3 which you can load with AV ammunition that will tear those motherfuckers into pieces just like they should.

The four Adepts in that story didn't kill that Horror - Lorm merely wounded it pretty good and then they high tailed it out of there. Also I don't think all of them made it - at least one of them got their skin shifted and I believe that another had their legs busted.
I have to double check, but I seem to recollect they did manage to kill it. But yes, two of the adepts were killed, the mage (before he even had time to cast a spell) and the troll as he threw his killing attack.
Skin Shift. *shudder*
It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Oh, and there were only three Adepts. The Nethermancer (who got the face/butt transplant), the troll (Sky Raider, I think, who died), and the Dwarf Thief (who told the story).

Be fun to see how skin shift would work against somebody with a cybertorso or dermal plating. I'm guessing full-borg might finally be a viable option in shadowrun against those, you can't possibly shift skin that isn't there.

Unless skin replacements paid for with essence count as natural for the purposes of the power. Somehow, I think having a dermal sheath or cyber torso shifted would be worse than having the same happen to natural skin.
I fully expect the Horror to use our technology against us. As an example I point to The Ring. Processed materials will have no effect against them, toxic waste and radiation will be their power base, corporations will pick Horrors to hedge against other corps and eventually other Horrors. The Horrors will reflect modern nightmares as will their powers. Think of how effectively Aden fought among others and then realize that the Enemy is more powerful, more numerous, and more tenacious than great dragons.
The Ring was a crappy movie. Never refer to it unless it is in jest.
On cyberware and Skin Shift... I'm not entirely sure of how the power works (I just got the general idea from the last Horror argu -- I mean... Discussion. Also the random blatherings of one of my GMs), but I think it would be either a lot worse or totally ineffective.

Err...the Ring aside, I happen to agree that tech could be a worthwhile tool for the Horrors. One of them from the 4th age, Artificer, was basically a gigantic deathtrap that existed only on the astral plane except when he imprinted his pattern on a complex, changing it's nature to more perfectly resemble his own. Hello, Archology, meet Artificer.
Or simsets that open one's mind to the horror; or the badass new Troll Thrash Metal Band's hit single, "Nebis this, Nebis that, I whacked Nebis with a baseball bat"; or the millions of well-meaning would be heroes that wouldn't mind just a little extra help from Tempter or that really wiz paydata that only Nemisis can provide...
And re: Skin shift, I second that *shiver*. The thing about a lot of the mid-level horrors isn't that they're tough, or that you couldn't mow one down with an assult rifle. The thing is that they are ALIEN beings who cannot be fathomed, who's powers are designed to cause fear and suffering, and that metahumanity is the buffet table that they are waiting to belly up to, no matter what happens, as the mana levels continue to rise. A wormskull or a bloatform could be just as big a mover and shaker as, oh, Buttercup, except that only the major ones would have the patience to get the multi-return trip plates to the bar. The mid-level and small ones tend to just snack.

Here's one from the WebRPG Top 20 lists, pertaining to exactly this subject.

The Shadowrun world had gotten terribly strange. The shaman swore we were in a UV computer system. The decker swore we weren't. The rigger swore that the GM had gotten confused and was playing Rifts. The samurai just swore, often and colorfully. Escorting the Hawaiian Tropics bikini team across the country for the Yakuza, the team's garishly painted bus was hijacked by were-rats. Paralyzed as much by the inevitability of it all as by tranq darts, the team succumbed. They woke, tied to a post, surrounded by were-rat dancers, while the Hawaiian Tropics bikini team were tied to a stone pillar some yards away. The high priest stood over them and began chanting. "You hear the words 'Yog-Sothoth,'" said the GM, giggling manically. The mage and the shaman, Lovecraft literate, traded horrified glances. The shaman called in a favor from her totem, who was kind enough to dissolve the ropes, and the team ran like hell while a column of interdimensional horror ate both bikini team and were-rats, and the shaman (more guts than brains) stood around shouting "Over here, you tentacled bastard!" until the GM pointed out, delicately, that this was YOG-SOTHOTH. "He doesn't HAVE a damage code!" We ran like hell. Looked back to see a giant lizard and pig being melted out of primal bedrock by Yog-Sothoth. Said pair, in various forms, followed us for weeks to come, during which time we ran away more often than not, but that's another story.... Jackal |

Somehow I find the possibility of cyberware not at least heavily gimping a magical power amazingly unlikely, given how badly it messes with magic everywhere else. After all, you can repair damaged cyberware with a heal spell and a limb certainly has no skin as such. Personally I'd probably just give the thing a severe TN mod for each cyberlimb, something like +3 per limb on it's test to use skin shift but that's just my opinion.
Also I tend to laugh long and hard at the absurd weakness that is Lovecraft. Cthulu, after all, got his ass kicked by a slow moving steam boat. I'd hate to see what a 16 inch naval shell would do to his squid-like form.

Personally, I think Horror magic works opposite of normal and that essence loss is like opening a door to them... Choking your wife to death with the cyberarm almost beats kicking your son to death with the leg.

Got his ass kick? Try: Turned into mist form while the mana level was still many years out of sync. The boat did nothing to it.
Horrors feed on corruption. While they may or may not be able to work with cyberware, I'd be damn sure it wouldn't hamper them.

thanks for the stats, btw...I may use them in my own campaign. Actually, the Baggi reminds me of the Red Terror in Warhamster 40K - if you got 4 attacks to hit, it ate a human-sized person whole...
Of course, I have a feeling if my runners ran up against a Baggi they'd take one turn to boggle, then run like all get out and the immortal saying "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun YOU" would be applied.

I would think that most horrors would "ignore" characters with very low essense simply because they are very much magical creatures, and I think it would be difficult for them to interact with and draw sustenance from such weak patterns (splicing SR and ED terms). Which is not to say a Horror won't Slaughter/Manipulate a cybered character if it had to, just that it would consider Marking or drawing sustinance from it distasteful, similar to the Horror's reaction to the Blood Elves. A lot of the more powerful horrors in ED dealt primarily with the magically powerful (Yrsgrathe, Taint, Verjigorm, Nemisis).
Of course, mindless horrors probably wouldn't much care about cyber. If a gnasher will eat a rock, it doesn't make much sense that it would be put off by a little plastic.
Oh, and could someone explain why Horrors should have 0 Essense? They are innately magical. And if you don't give them essense, you have the headache of having to convert all the Horror powers insead of just inserting SR critter powers that fit. Not to mention nothing with 0 Essense can use magical skills in SR (and there's no sense in breaking a rule for breaking a rule's sake). Plus it's needed for the Astral Hazing SURGE effect, which just makes sense for Horrors.

Then we have the question of whether cyberware will even be used when the magic level gets that high. When nearly everyone of note is awakened, cybering beyond a few points will probably be fairly rare, and most people I doubt would have much more than a datajack.
I doubt even Epsilonware will solve the problem of costing Essence, and if didn't cost Essence, well, no possible grounds to claim protection (aside from the lack of essence loss, but that didn't save the Fourth World).

I think in ED only about 1 in 20 people were adepts (can't remember where that number came from), so even when magicians do rule the world, they'll need to cyber their minions so they have a chance against the other magicians. 
But they won't, because either the magic will be more powerful but the cyber won't or the cyber will be more available to the mages. This is, of course, barring a huge advance in the 4.5+ Essence cyber fields (after adjustment for grade type).
~J
~J
As long as cyberware has any Essence cost, mundanes will always be more capable of taking advantage of it without damaging their magic; even if a mage could take what is today the equivalence of 10 Essence points of Cyberware for the cost of 1 Essence, a mundane could take the equivalence of 60 Essence points worth. As the years roll by, cyberware will also probably dwindle in costs as it becomes common, everyday technology. In fact, finding an unaugmented metahuman will doubtlessly be a pretty tough thing to do, even amongst the young.
If magic also becomes powerful and common, as it doubtlessly will, that just means mundanes will be able to take advantage of both sides of the coin. Mundanes will have more focus on implants with magic on the side, and adepts will have more focus on magic with implants on the side.
Even if you don't share that view, implants aren't going to be what saves humanity from the Horrors (though it will doubtlessly help; especially with a souped-up BTL-type chip that simulates the pain the Blood Elves went through without having to actually have thorns sticking out of their flesh... and the mundanes could turn it on and off at will). It's going to be their technological prowess as a whole.
Even though the Fourth World had magic that is on par with and trumps modern science, they still were only using primitive weapons and architecture. Couple unimaginable magic with unimaginable technology against a foe who's masses are only equivalent on the magical side... and blam -- you'll have a much more interesting fight.
I honestly don't see humanity cowering inside kaers when the next Scourge comes along. They're either going to fight or abandon Earth for manawarps and man-made habitats altogether.

Essense translates to Pattern integrety, and Horrors have patterns, so Horrors have Essence. However, their patterns are fundamentaly alien and it does not hold that Horrors would have the same type of Essence that other creatures do. It is quite possible that Horrors have what we would consider subzero essence becuase that is the normal state of their Pattern. For all we know, essence loss could be a result of Horror corruption. How do we know that cyberware wasn't invented by Nemesis or a Ristular?

IIRC they only wounded the Horror, as Lorm's Axe is a threaded magic item whose last thread is activated by killing that selfsame horror.
Dunkelzahn and Harlequin both seemed to believe that having both technology and magic would be the key to defeating the Horrors this time round. As I stated in another thread, I think this is why they work so hard to open peoples' eyes to some of what is going on whilst at the same time concealing the truth of immortal elves and dragons etc - they don't want us forced into the same channel they were in. Clearly, in the eyes of people who actually survived the Horrors, technology provides some inexplicable yet considerable balancing force. Perhaps concentrating on one aspect of technology is a mistake; perhaps it's tech as a whole. The combination, say, of global communications even when you spend 90% of your time locked inside a citadel, plus milspec weapons that can shred even an armoured Horror, plus personal cyberware that puts the non-Adepts on par with their magical brethren (ED Adepts were not in the majority of the population by any stretch of the imagination, you just tended to meet more of them as PC's because like attracts like). Tech levels the playing field against the Horrors far more than magic ever could because everyone can use it.
I ran a campaign set in the second Time of Horrors. It was only a short one, because several of the participants buggered off to university, but it was quite popular. Of the six-man squad, there were only two magical types.
For the record, my house rules were: Magic Priorities dropped by one to reflect the increase in mana levels; cyberware was bought in packages of Epsilonware rather than in individual pieces as the PCs were agents of the governing body; all weapons had their weights halved and their ammo capacities increased by 20% to reflect technological increases; APDS ammo was standard, the bonuses for AP and HE were increased (I can't remember by how much, sorry, it was a long time ago); the harmful side-effects of MBW and, oh, what's the other one? Anyway, those were reduced to much lower levels, again to reflect increased technological competence. Anything else got adjudicated on a case-by-case basis; mostly I settled for making things lighter and more reliable rather than tinkering too much with basic stats.
Ah, I can still remember the troll with the missile launcher taking a short-cut to getting into a caer believed to be overrun by Horrors.
Mage: "It'll take me a while to decode the locking wards."
Troll: "We don't have a while. There's Horrors in there, and in case you forgot, Horrors back there too."
Mage: "It'll take as long as it takes. You can't rush magic."
Troll: Whoosh. BOOM.
Mage: "Of course, that would work too."
a little off topic, but in an offshoot of my last campaign we integrated the Dark Conspiracy rules, the adventures integrate very easily into shadowrun, and the critters and main entities are very, very similar to horrors..stats are also very easy to convert to SR
in any case, take a look at Darktech from that system.. semi biological very corrupted modern tech.. an evil twin to bioware.. and very helpful for any horror campaign.. guaranteed you will have your players going what the..? just as often as they will be reaching for a barf bag.

Actually, even if every other aspect of technology was completely, utterly, and hopelessly useless against the Horrors, this alone would be reason to pursue the tech route. It seriously damages the ability of even powerful Horrors like Giftbringer to subvert areas without alerting others.

In point of fact, the first mission I ran was a bughunt where a nearby caer went out of communication and the team were sent to investigate.
Out of sheer sadism, I had a later mission planned where something similar happened, except that this time it was the caer's leaders who went bugf**k completely without any intervention from Horrors and cut off communication from the "horror-infested outside world". It was designed to be deliberately misleading

The lesser ones, physically. The greater ones probably wouldn’t bother, though Giftbringer or the one with the ravens whose name I forget would probably have a field day.

To Kanada Ten:
Call of Cthulu specifically states that Cthulu's body was ripped to shreds by the impact of a slow-moving steamboat, and while he did regenerate afterwards for some reason Cthulu wasn't able to keep on attacking the world and his city sank beneath the waves immediately afterwards. Mist form had nothing to do with it, Cthulu's body is simply that weak.
Back to the horror debate:
In my opinion what will really give mankind an advantage over the horrors is space travel. They've already got a lot of people living in orbitals, it's natural that over time that's going to become more and more common. I could easily see a neo "Goldrush" after some resources in space, particularly if a 50 kilometer-wide asteroid of platinum or some such went by and people started to realize just how much wealth is floating around out there. If the population as a whole becomes aware of horrors, the desire to escape them will spawn a similar space race just to get away (Aside from horror hunters). Colonies will have to be kept small enough not to generate their own manaspheres but that'll actually be easier than building really huge ones.
Space has no mana. Horrors are creatures of mana. The warp of space will kill any astral or dual natured creature in seconds, minutes at the outside. If there are horrors capable of being completely physical with no magical component at all (Probably) they are now quite vulnerable to all our physical weapons as well. Say hello to my orbital railgun.
The last reason that horrors are really screwed by space travel is the simple psychological fact of human survival. No matter how bad it gets on earth, a significant portion of the human race is largely safe. They cannot genocide the species, they cannot even touch most of mankind. This will be tremendously uplifting to the morale of humans left on earth to fight horrors (As will their ability to go to a completely safe place to rest and relax after wiping out a few dozen horrors) and will massively frustrate the horrors. As I understand it, many horrors feed on such emotional frustration, anguish, and fear. With those emotions damped or gone, they're going to starve for karma and spirit energy while humans gain a boost.

The least Horrors and constructs don’t even feed on such abstract concepts as pain, they feed on physical objects like your right leg. The ones I mentioned feed on aggression and jealousy.

Creatures that want to feed on physical objects like my leg will have to feed on a few clips of EXEX (or better) first.
If that thing you're firing EXEX .45 ACP at happens to be a Horror, it isn't going to care.
Go for it. You’ll even kill them that way. Doesn’t mean they’re no threat.

imo, is there was a heigra into space stations and the like, then the mana warp would be pushed out. Life, as far as I know, creates the "habitable" astral areas near our reality. (not unlike the 'force')
The Horror Constructs, as well as Gnashers from the list of minor horrors, statted in the message Azrael quoted from an earlier forum might not "care" about a few magazines of EX-Ex, but they'd be killed/destroyed/disabled none-the-less.
With Wormskulls and Baggis, you'd just have to upgrade to a Barrett, a PAC or an MG firing APDS ammunition. For anything bigger, there're always ATGMs and the autocannons I mentioned earlier.
