Horrors

List of Horrors from the Garo Guide Book.

The primary antagonists for the Garo series.

Terms

Inga 陰我 - Literally "the dark side, the yin".

Makai - The underworld or the world of demons.

What are they?

They're demon beasts from the world of the Makai. When a person with wickedness in their heart touches an Inga object, a Gate opens that allows the Horror to possess that person.

These Horrors then attack people in the night, devouring them as food.

Makai Knights can detect a person possessed by a Horror by shining a Madou flame in front of their eyes. If possessed, seals will appear in their eyes.

Horrors in Yami wo Terasu Mono

In this series, they introduce a new type of Horror. These new Horror are called Madou Horror or heretic Horrors. The old, familiar kind of Horrors that we know are relabeled Inga Horrors.

While Inga Horrors are created from weak-minded people and objects, Madou Horror are created by will from someone else. In the story, these people tend to be outstanding citizens and pillars of Volcity. Madou Horrors aren't revealed by Madou flames, making them harder to detect than Inga Horror.

Madou Horrors appear to be smarter than Inga Horror. When Inga Horrors are revealed, they tend to revert to speaking in the Makai language, whereas Madou Horrors speak in the language of humans. They appear to go for loftier goals than just eating to survive and will often command Inga Horrors to do their bidding.

When they fight, Madou Horrors use parts of themselves weapons. When Garo cuts them, gold particles fly out, briefly turning Garo's black armor into gold once more.
