Fear
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
“Involuntary retreat; unable to act; stacks duration.— In-game description
Fear is a condition that causes an enemy to be interrupted and run directly away from the player for a short period of time.
Characters suffering from fear will run away from the source of fear and have a dark green tinted skull appear over their heads.
Fear is notable in that it also counts as a control effect, meaning it can be cleared by both condition removal as well as stun breaks.
