Hungry-Deer-Spirits

Hungry-Deer-Spirits (Starvedoes, Sasuha Lulim) are Forest-Spirits.

Background

Legend holds that at one time, the greatest of deer-spirits were mighty stags that aided tribes of humans, either in battle or during great hunts. Frequently, however, deer-spirits of a different sort have been manifesting - spirits of greed and gluttony. These spirits are especially common in the forests of the upper Midwest in the United States, but these spirits can be found in forests around the world.

Starvedoes rarely interact much with humans or other supernaturals, since these spirits are fed primarily by the multitudes of deer infesting modern forests. Starvedoes will fiercely protect the lives of deer under the spirits' influence, and will lash out at anything, human, animal or otherwise, that threatens a deer's life. Since these spirits also urge deer to consume as much as possible, Uratha typically view Starvedoes as pests that must be exterminated.

Description

Hungry-Deer-Spirits appear to be ordinary deer, but for one minor detail: they do not appear to have a stomach or intestines. Rather, their ribcage gives way to an empty hole, and therefore, the spirits appear to be almost comically incomplete. Their appetites for foliage are endless, but every time they eat, the masticated food falls out of their torsos soon thereafter.
