Horrorterrors

“	Squiddles I guess are a sort of candy coated representation of the outer gods. (...) They were not necessarily conjured into existence by the gods, via dark conspiracy either. It's more likely that humans created them as an echo of their subconscious awareness that these gods exist, and present them through this cute, approachable facade.	„
	~ Andrew Hussie

Summary

Horrorterrors, also referred to as the outer gods, are mysterious eldritch creatures that reside in the Furthest Ring. They are enormous and extremely powerful, but their motives and agenda are unknown. These creatures are getting massacred by Lord English, causing them to reach out to Sburb players. They whisper to the dreamers of Derse during the eclipse and have asked both Rose and Dave for help. This connection to the horrorterrors serves as a Derse player's advantage, equivalent to Skaian Clouds on Prospit. Feferi's lusus, Gl'bgolyb, is referred to as an "emissary" to them.

Known horrorterrors include Fluthlu, Nrub'yiglith, and Oglogoth. Gl'bgolyb was confirmed in the book commentary to be an actual horrorterror. She was given to Alternia by Doc Scratch and is a lusus to the heir to the Alternian throne.

Hierarchy:

• The Noble Circle of Horrorterrors: An order of a select few, made up of only the absolute largest and most powerful Horrorterrors. Next to nothing is known about them, due to their residence in the absolute furthest portion of the infinite Furthest Ring. Their agenda is entirely unknown.

• The Middling Gods: Below the Noble Circle are the Middling Gods, lesser yet still incredibly powerful beings who cater to the whims of the Noble Circle. They are currently reaching out to dreaming players in an attempt to prevent their demise at the hands of Lord English. While they seem to be opposed to the creation of new universes, this may only be due to the fact that one of these universes led to Lord English's creation, in the first place. However, they are opposed to the destruction of all creation that English seems to be bringing about.

• The Smaller Gods: The beings who serve the Middling Gods are known as the Smaller Gods. While they are indeed small by Horrorterror standards, the smallest of them,  Oglogoth, is the size of a small planet. It is likely these Horrorterrors are also being killed by Lord English.

• Lesser Horrorterrors: While the Lesser Horrorterrors are below the notice of even the smallest of the Smaller Gods, they are still terrible and powerful in mortal eyes. The absolute smallest one is Fluthlu (an obvious parody of Cthulhu), and even he was dozens of times larger than a large city. The second smallest is Nrub'yiglith, who is shown to be dozens of times larger than Fluthlu and to cause mortals' bones to explode just by hearing his whispers.
