Sewage Spirit
Background
First spawned when the flow of the Chicago River was reversed and became the city's garbage dump, sewage-spirits have proliferated ever since, though their numbers are perhaps slightly less now than in the past. Encompassing all the various kinds of garbage, from animal by-products to raw sewage to chemical waste and trash of various kinds, sewage-spirits are powered by the desire to spread their filth throughout the Sleeping world.
Description
Vaguely human-sized and shaped like a bipedal creature, these spirits seem to be composed of many different substances. Some spirits appear as glutinous masses of bloody flesh and bones compacted together into a close-knit solid form. Other spirits have the appearance (and stench) of raw sewage straight from the toilets of the city. Still other spirits have an oily, poisonous appearance and an acrid, burning stench. Those that have the power of speech form orifices in the appropriate head-like appendage in order to do so. They do not need eyes.
Storytelling Hints
Of limited intelligence and consciousness, these spirits seek only to proliferate and to grow larger and claim more territory in the spirit wilds and in the Sleeping world as their own. They attack by filling the moths and noses of their victims with sewage, to drown them.
