Demon Beast Horrors (魔獣ホラー. aka Horrors, ホラー) are antagonistic forces of GARO series. They are demonic entities that feared not only due to their abilities to enter the human world via darkness within mankind's hearts, but also by their near-immortality.
Description[]
These dark monsters are originated from Makai, and have existed since darkness first came into the human heart. As a result, being creatures that thrive on darkness, Horrors enter the human world to hunt and eat humans or simply torture them. At the beginning of the conflict, Makai Priests, magicians of Makai Order, came into being to fend off the Horrors due to the threat that they pose. It was only after discovery of Soul Metal, magical mystical alloy which become basis of weaponry of Makai Knights along with foundation of Makai Knight Corps. that the Knights become the primary fighting force against the Horrors.
Despite their nature as enemies of humanity, some recurrent gaining notoriety as they are named and documented, Horrors are not always targeted for elimination. At times, they are re-purposed by Makai Priests to serve various functions, such as for sealing of other more powerful Horrors, experimentation, or those like Sedinbale sealed to provide their vast knowledge on various Makai-related matters. Even in anime continuity, Madōgu (magical items crafted by people who affiliated with Makai Order) like Zaruba are created with Horrors that hold no enmity against humanity and have pledged their loyalty to the Makai order, the created items entrusted to certain Makai Knights of prestige.
