====Outsiders====
Beings from outside of Creation (outside of both the material universe and the spiritual world), inhabiting a place only known as Outside, beyond the Outer Gates at the very edge of the land of Faerie. They have impossible anatomy and minds, reality tends to break when they're around and they shake off most magic like raindrops. Very little is known about them other than that they're Outside, and they want IN.

*'''Outsiders''': Extradimensional, would-be invaders. Lots of tentacles and mismatched body parts of the type that '''would not''' go in hentai. And trust us, [[/d/|we've seen some shit]]. Outsider is a catch-all term for the many, many creatures from Outside, though there's a possibility each one may be unique. They take cues from Cosmic Horror monsters, though they leave Lovecraft's deep sea theme to the Fomorians. The only consistencies between Outsiders is that they're good at psychic assaults, they can only be summoned up by human magic, and they are smarter than being an all-destroying rage monster would suggest them to be. They want in to our reality to wreck it, though the reason why, if there's any reason beyond instinctual hatred, is unknown.

*'''He Who Walks Behind/"The Walker"''': ''He Who Walks Behind, Lord of Slowest Terror'', is a being who's partly responsible for making Harry who he is. When Harry ran away from Justin DuMorne, He Who Walks Behind was summoned to kill him, but Harry defeated and banished him instead. Has (at least) two manifestations, a cloud of razor sharp spikes, and a looming vaguely humanoid presence that is always behind you, even when your back is touching the wall. He Who Walks Behind is only a title, his real "name" is a psychic impression of pain, hatred, and sadism. He speaks with a vaguely British accent, because of course he does. There's evidence in the more recent books that HWWB might have intentionally thrown the fight to shape Harry somehow, and given that SPOILERS this implies that HWWB might be working against his own cause.

*'''He Who Walks Before/"Sharkface"''': ''He Who Walks Before, Gatebreaker, Harbinger, Feargiver, Hopeslayer,'' is another Walker like He Who Walks Behind, but he's slightly (and emphasis on slightly) less abstract. He appears as a ragged black cloak beneath a monstrous, eyeless face with fused teeth. The series somewhat paradoxically compares him to the power of Queen Mab or Demonreach, yet Harry survives fighting him twice. Make of that what you will. Surprisingly, he actually doesn't speak with a "vaguely British" accent. Can create clones of himself and near perfect illusions with only a single flaw.

*'''Shoggoth''': A creature made out of insanity and the fused bodies of its past victims, it feeds on intelligence and is surrounded by a aura of psychic terror made from the final moments of every single person it has ever swallowed. It is only weak to fire. It's referred to as "the '''spawn''' of an Outsider", so it may be some form of Scion. Maybe an Outsider fucked an amoeba or something. We don't know. If anybody does know please report to a therapist and a Warden.

*'''Corner-Hounds / Hounds of Tindalos''': Lovecraft was more right about these than he knew. Capable of showing up anywhere where there is at least a right angle these things are a cross between a Horse, a Dog, a ball of tentacles, and the world's most powerful Sub-Woofer. They like to either fight physically, or use ultra-low frequency sounds to incapacitate their prey. They hunt in "packs" of thirteen bodies, which are all being controlled by the same mind.
