That the fomor suck as bad guys. I mean how sexy are people with gills and turtle necks. I mean they're just really kind of meh

I like them. Urban fantasy bad guys tend to be sexier than I think they should be, and I generally prefer horrifying monsters to not-so-horrifying ones.

I was under the impression that those are not Fomor, they are just goons modified by the Fomor. More like Renfields than anything else. Keeping the true villains off-screen can amp up the paranoia pretty effectively.

I think your right. Then i wonder what they are. What about the lords are they modified humans too, have we not seen the real deal yet

There's a short story called "Even Hands" about Marcone's encounter with one of the actual Fomor. They are nothing to sneeze at.
I'm drawing a bit from Lovecraft to draw them up for my game. The "Innsmouth look" is basically, what the servitors are all about, Humans half turned into freakish fish monsters.
The actual Fomor I use are part mythology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomorians), part just the general idea of entities so nasty, they were banished by combined forces of humans and supernatural alike. They've come up every now and again through the ages, and every time they were pushed back at great costs on all sides. And now they're back. With a vengeance.
