Hhoru manifests as a figure of primal savagery and ancient blood magic, the very essence of nature’s dark side made divine. He is rarely seen in his true form, but when he does appear, he takes the shape of a massive figure clad in the skins of his victims, his body painted with the runes of Death drawn in blood that never dries. It is said that his true form was once that of the first shaman, now forever bound to the consumption of flesh and the communion with the darker spirits of nature.
His presence brings with it the stench of blood and the certainty that the spirits of nature demand their tribute.
