Everything

Freakfeet were among the earliest of designer Fomori, initially created by the Magadon subsidiary Panacea in the late 1970s. They were intended to be an easily controlled, cheaply-produced, self-replicating fomori breed, and to thrive in the abandoned nooks and crannies of the urban wasteland — particularly in the sewers and storm drains which many Bone Gnawers of the time used as supply caches and bolt holes. However, a spate of attacks on Panacea facilities allowed a number of un-indoctrinated Freakfeet to escape, resulting in these urban nightmares reproducing in the wild outside of Pentex’s control.

Despite their variable appearance, all Freakfeet are genetically identical. They are the result of a genetic-spiritual fusion of human and amphibian DNA with a

H’ruggling Bane. They’re dull-witted and cowardly but vicious creatures, experts at creeping, slinking, and abducting targets from within their own homes, the better to either feed or grow their home nest.

Freakfeet have their own crude language, it is a deep-throated chittering comprehensible only to other Freakfeet and H’rugglings. Attributes: Strength 3, Dexterity 5, Stamina 3, Charisma 1,

Image: Freakfeet look like grotesque little toad-monkeys. They’re generally human in outline from the waist up, although with weirdly elongated arms. Their eyes are enormous, popping out of heads bulging up from wide, powerful shoulders; Freakfeet have no necks to speak of. Their legs are tiny, from six inches to a foot in length, ending in enormous feet with long prehensile toes. Freakfeet skin is waxy and rubbery beneath its glistening layer of slime, and these fomori come in a wide array of different colors, of which the Freakfeet are inordinately proud. Although they move with a seemingly awkward lope, Freakfeet are capable of impressive ground speeds.

Every Freakfeet hive has a single “Queen” which is at least three times the size of a normal fomor of this breed, with a grossly bloated and bulbous body and a stinger mounted at the base of her spine.

Genesis: Freakfeet are unusual among fomori, in that the only Banes that create new Freakfeet incubate in the flesh of a Freakfeet Queen. Freakfeet perform home invasions, sliding in through the pipes, or snatch lone individuals off the streets and down into storm drains; these unfortunate souls become the fodder for new Freakfeet. Their captors fuse the abductees to the floors or walls of the local hive, where the Queen injects a spiritual “egg” with her stinger. The new fomor gestates inside the body of the host, eventually tearing free of its parent’s flesh a few weeks later when the possession is complete.

Roleplaying Notes: You have only the haziest memories of the host-flesh. You remember places, faces, names, facts, but have no emotional connection to them. They are likely to be the first things you hunt. You are born hungry. You love sliding through the pipes and drains of the city, collapsing your rubbery skin and using your natural slime to glide smoothly along. You like playing with the malleable flesh of those you capture. You must

serve the Queen and you must serve the hive. Food, new brothers, and a bit of amusement are all that you need now.
