Bestiary

The Wyld has its own ways. Life grows even in the face of death, a part of an endless cycle that isn’t meant to change. Fungi are a part of that cycle, decomposing the dead flesh of plant and animal alike and leaving rich fertilizer behind — but Gray Masses are different.

Charms: Blighted Touch, Corruption, Possession, Sporing*

*Sporing: The Gray Masses’ primary agenda is to make more of themselves, and they begin to multiply when they find a host. Each Essence point spent by a Gray Mass allows the Bane to create another of its kind. Each of these new Banes is as powerful as the original, and will also produce offspring once it finds a host. Without a host, a Gray Mass is little more than a spore, virtually powerless to accomplish any task. Most of the Essence in a Gray Mass goes to creating more copies of itself. Each of these Banes is capable of producing eight or nine more just like itself, and each of these in turn is capable of creating a new fomor from its host and still more of the Banes that transmit them.

Image: The Gray Masses have no real spiritual presence, as tiny as they are. It’s only when they manifest

through their hosts, the Gray Men (see above) that they become obvious.
