Horrors are creatures/spirits that date back to The Fourth World and earlier. They are able to access our world when the mana levels are high enough. In the Earthdawn universe, they are said to come from the "dark corners of the netherworlds." This would seem to correspond to the deep metaplanes that have been discovered. These deep metaplanes are harder to reach and represent the native metaplanes of insect spirits and shedim.
Critters in the Sixth World that might be modern manifestations of Horrors include wraiths, nomad spirits and shedim. Insect spirits had, at first, been believed to be another manifestation of the Horrors, but instead have been identified as a threat that merely heralds the arrival of the Horrors.
