Horde's Nest
Horde's Nest is a Beshilu from the Werewolf: The Forsaken Rulebook.
Background
| “ | "We know what you are! Get away! Stay back!" | ” |
The Beshilu are happiest living their lives surrounded by their Beshilu and rat brothers and sisters, cousins, nephews and nieces. Some take this preference to an extreme, gnawing their way into a sleeping or otherwise helpless human victim and making a nest for themselves within his body. They can then operate the human's body with a fair degree of competence, though it's hard to mistake a human-seeming Rat Host for a functioning, reasonable member of human society.
Description
This sort of Beshilu tends to be scruffy and doesn't often go armed. most are intelligent enough not to let their rat siblings travel with them when they're out among humans looking for thin places in the Gauntlet, but few can leave the rats far away. The individual rats that compose them look like perfectly ordinary versions of the species, but the skin of their aggregate human hosts has a queasy, writhing aspect that makes them difficult to look at. Should that skin be broken, witnesses can see the wet, squirming mass of rat-flesh beneath the surface.
