Guro is a Japanese term derived from the English word "grotesque". It is a genre of art dealing with themes of gore, mutilation, disfigurement, extreme violence or something that's just weird beyond comprehension (though the last one is considered an archaic definition).

Guro does not simply refer to violent or bloody imagery, but in fact [b]extreme graphic violence[/b]. Do not use this tag for images where the [[blood]] tag would suffice.

[[Body horror]] or the general presence of [[organs]] should not be considered guro unless extreme violence is involved.
