There are three types of Horrors: those that exist on the physical plane,
those that exist on the astral plane, and those that exist on both at the
same time. Fully physical Horrors should be blown away by a nuke, IMHO,
while fully-astral ones would probably love the experience as astral space
gets polluted beyond anything else that's available in SR. From that, dual
Horrors would get their physical bodies killed, but that won't really hurt
them -- the only way to get rid of a dual-natured Horror permanently is to
kill both the physical and astral bodies, else the Horror can easily find
another physical body, or somehow "regenerate" the astral one.
