 '''Lurking horrors''' are orbs of potent [[negative energy]] which are simultaneously attracted to and repulsed by you. On contact with a creature, or on death, it will [[torment]] everything it can see. They can be found in [[the Abyss]] and certain Abyss-themed [[vault]]s.

-'''Lurking horrors''' are orbs of potent [[negative energy]] which are simultaneously attracted to and repulsed by you. If you come across one at the edge of your [[line of sight]] it will usually stop moving until you can no longer see it, at which point it will track you like a [[wandering mushroom]]. The closer you get to it, however, the more likely it is to start chasing you, seeking to kamikaze into you like a [[ballistomycete spore]]. Should it crash into something or take any sort of damage, it will immediately burst, [[torment]]ing everything it can see. They can be found in [[the Abyss]].

+*In [[0.28]], lurking horror movement was updated and made simpler. Previously, lurking horrors, in addition to distance, were more likely to move when there was more open space.

 *Characters with torment resistance can simply ignore them. Anyone else can attempt to leave them behind, as the shifting nature of the Abyss may cut off their ability to pursue you. However, if you have to turn around due to a dead end or a dangerous opponent you wish to flee, you'll almost certainly have to deal with the thing.
-*If you can damage it beyond your line of sight, you can kill it safely. Any Cloud spell can accomplish this if cast around a blind corner, as can [[Fireball]] or a [[wand of iceblast]]. Be aware that most spells of this sort are noisy and may attract other forms of unwanted attention.
