Creatures of Horror

Of all the types of Nephilim in the Mortal Realms, none are as feared as the Horrorlim. Coming from Benelim and Maelim stock, Horrorlim are mutated monsters, typically much larger in size than a man. No two are ever the same and many are so twisted they aren't even humanoid anymore. Some have long tendrils and stubby legs. Others have rams horns, centipede legs and iron hard skin. These are two examples of the many forms of mutation.

They are creations of the Twisted Gods, insidious deities who were drawn to the Mortal Realms by Godfall. In the outbreak of the Second Novalim War, there were thousands of these monsters. They were creatures that destroyed the Realm of the White Birches and came the closest to destroying the Cradlelands. Not even the daemons can boast such a feat. While the population of Horrorlim has never recovered from that war, their numbers are growing more and more. Particularly in places like the Maelim Hinterlands.

The only silver lining is such mutation also comes with madness and as a result, Horrorlim are utterly mindless. As a result they are lead into the battle by the Homunculi, tiny little humanoids from the same domain in the heavens as the Twisted Gods. If you slay the Homunculi controlling the beasts, the cohesion of the Horrorlim falls apart instantly. They'll fight each other or just wander off. 

The biggest problem is the Homunculi are so small they can fit in a grown person's hand...
