Blue Horror

"When a Pink Horror is slain, it is replaced by a pair of smaller Blue Horrors, as surly as their predecessors were joyful."

—Description of Blue Horrors in Total War: Warhammer III.^[3]

Blue Horrors of Tzeentch are malicious and evil-tempered.

A Blue Horror is a Lesser Daemon of Tzeentch, the Chaos God of change and intrigue, who is the unholy product that results from the destruction of a Pink Horror.

When severely wounded or outright slain, a Pink Horror exhales a final lunatic cackle before rapidly decomposing into an ectoplasmic blob of gyrating magic, which swiftly alters colour and divides into two Blue Horrors -- diminutive replicas of their parent Daemon.^[1a]

Blue Horrors are sullen and malicious, like evil-tempered children, and sneer and grumble their way through a battle. Once spawned, they add a deeper whining note to the incessant chortling of the group of Horrors as they attempt to grapple with enemies and squeeze the life from them, before inevitably wandering off in search of fresh entertainment.^[1a]

Alternatively, any given Horror might explode in a cloud of chromatic energy, causing anything nearby to mutate from the raw magic of Chaos.^[2a]

Notable Daemonette Regiments

• Chromatic Abominations - For these Blue Horrors, defence is the best offence, emitting chromatic barriers to render incoming attacks futile as they inflict their own.^[3]
