A creature with this Trait has an unnerving appearance. Its Fear Rating (1–4) reflects just how awful the creature is to behold. The higher the Fear Rating the harder it is for others to resist going insane from the encounter, as shown on the following chart.
| Fear Rating | Description | Penalty |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Disturbing | 0 |
| 2 | Frightening | -10 |
| 3 | Horrifying | -20 |
| 4 | Terrifying | -30 |
When a character encounters a creature with this Trait, he must make a Willpower Test, modified by the severity of the creature’s Trait. On a success, the character may act as normal. On a failure, the character must roll on Table 8-4: The Shock Table, adding +10 to the roll for every degree of failure by which the Willpower Test failed. The results of this roll have variable effects, but generally leave the character a gibbering mess.
