Ok, first off, everyone please go out and buy the Predator and Prey book
when it comes out at the end of the year. If that sells well, FASA said
they'll probably release an updated Paranormals Book, and these little
confusions won;t crop up...:/

Basically tehre is something in the Paranormals of Europe book called a
Fomorian. it's a Eurapean Vampiric variant of the Troll. However, it has
a similar name to the Formori, and so confusion reigns...

Two different critters here...;]
