Horrorterror

The Horrorterrors are outer gods in Homestuck that dwell within the infinite void between universes, known as the Furthest Ring. Very little is known of them, however, they appear to have some of hierarchy with the smaller gods at the bottom who serve the middling gods who in turn serve the Noble Circle of Horrorterrors. The horrorterrors are known to whisper to Sburb players who dream on Derse to assist them, make deals with them, and even request the players' assistance. Some humans were known to have been psychically exposed to the horrorterrors, in order to cope with this exposure they reimagined them in a friendly form which would eventually form the basis of the children's TV show, Squiddles! Possibly due exposure amongst more members of humanity, rumors started that the show was secret occult propaganda, though this appears to have been entirely unintentional on behalf of the horrorterrors.

History
Due to the nature of time in the Furthest Ring it is likely no chronological order of events can properly describe their history; however at some point Lord English  began slaughtering them; whether this was deliberate or a side-effect of his destroying dream bubbles is unknown. Desperate, they contacted players seeking their assistance. At some point, Feferi Peixes, who was raised by their emissary, Gl'bgolyb, convinced the horrorterrors to create a series of stable dream bubbles, which allowed players who had died to communicate with players who had lost one of their bodies. However, Vriska Serket believed the horrorterrors were willing to create the dream bubbles not out of altruism but as a distraction for English, thus giving them a temporary reprieve from being slaughtered.
