In dNetHack, there are three species of '''horror'''. These are the '''shambling horror''', '''stumbling horror''' and '''wandering horror'''. They are part of the {{white|U}} class, which in dNetHack indicates an "unknown abomination".

The statistics for each of these species are randomized every game.

* The speed is anywhere from 6 to 18 (slow to fast)
* The AC is anywhere from 10 to −20
* The MR is anywhere from 0 to 100
* The alignment is anywhere from 8 to −8.
* A horror has up to 4 attacks, each with a random attack type and damage type.
** The damage types encompass almost every type in the game, excluding Rider-only attacks, lycanthrope attacks, seduction (nymph or foocubus) attacks, and lethe attacks.
** Not every damage type is possible for each attack type, inclusions are mostly based on whether there is a pre-existing monster with that attack combination already.
* The size can be anything from tiny to gigantic.
* The corpse weight and nutrition will match the size, but this doesn't matter, as horrors will never leave a corpse.
* The sounds will always be a random humanoid sound.
* The horror then gets up to 17 flags of each type (resistances, resistances conveyed, movement pattern, etc.)
** The horror will never be polymorphable, always hostile, and never a werecreature.
** Any contradictory flags (such as MT_ANIMAL and MT_MINDLESS) are filtered out with one chosen.
* The horror will have a random type of internal organs, one of none, normal, or non-differentiated (homogenous) organs.
* The horror will have a level based on its attacks and flags, but always above 11.
** If the horror should have a level below 11 based on attacks and flags, the entire horror will be re-randomized.
