SEWER SLAVE-DRIVER
Quote: “Keep gnawing, idiots! They’re coming! Don’t
you hear them?”
Background: A few Beshilu stand out from the
swarm as more intelligent, more devious, more
adventurous and, in the end,
more deadly. They grow
in power individually
until they
are able to
take over
human
host
bodies on
their own,
and they
become all
the more
deadly and
terrifying for
that. They’re
not so much
the leaders of
Beshilu society
as they are
the toughest
and meanest
of a breed of
intelligent,
driven
vermin.
Description:
This type
of Beshilu is
an ugly hybrid of
human and rat with patchy fur,
scabrous skin, beady red eyes
and a hairless, whiplike tail.
They could conceivably be
mistaken for werewolves
in that they’re bipedal
and vaguely hairy, but
good light or close proximity
(or a working sense of
smell) is usually enough
to make the distinction.
Storytelling
Hints: Unlike
spirits that preside
over Beshilu swarms, these Beshilu travel alone as discrete
beings. Some carry crude weapons and wear cobbled-together
clothing, and most are cunning enough to lay traps
and ambushes for Uratha who come hunting them. They
watch, observe, learn patterns and routines, and then
strike where it will do the most damage, preferably while
anyone who could conceivably be a threat is engaged in
fighting their swarm mates.

RIDDEN
The Hithimu are creatures that exist as mockeries
of the Uratha’s own existence. Just like werewolves,
they are creatures of both flesh and spirit, but unlike the
Uratha, that isn’t their natural state. Instead, a spirit
joins with its host through forcible possession or voluntary
merger to create a creature born of both worlds and
equally comfortable in both. They aren’t automatically
threatening or inimical to the werewolves, but their very
existence tends to disrupt the careful balance that a
pack seeks to achieve in its territory. This, coupled
with an ability to cross the barriers between the
worlds and werewolf-like regeneration abilities, make
them formidable opponents.
