The manual seems to state pretty clearly that a squad that is exposed to fear then takes a morale check. It's listed along with a squad taking casualties (or wounds I think I remember it being termed).

I have used frighten in the past and you can really make your opponents morale drop but you have to make them take a morale check for them to rout. My understanding was that Terror causes fear - so in theory you could frighten to lower morale and then cast terror to generate a morale check.

My understanding was that fear yields a morale check and False Horrors have a fear aura or whatever its called.
Correct. Fear lowers morale and forces a morale check. Frighten is a special case and it only lowers morale of the target, but if combined with a morale check (from casualties, fear spells or a fear aura) it is useful.

'Rat Tail' works like frighten. The unit struck by it has morale lowered significantly.
