Point taken... Relevant to this is that Horrors come in two types:
single-natured and dual-natured. Single-nature ones live either completely
in astral space, or completely in the physical plane but not both at the
same time (most can go between forms at will, though). Dual-natured
Horrors (the most dangerous ones) live in both planes, but they can have
their physical and astral bodies in different locations, that can act
separately from each other... Killing the physical body of such a Horror
doesn't kill the whole creature, just one half of it, and the Horror can
then try to create or steal a new body for itself. To kill it completely,
you have to kill both the physical and astral forms of the beast.
(See the ED Horrors book, page 93.)
