Spirit of Slaughtered Animals
Spirit of Slaughtered Animals are type of a Spirit from Chicago, Illinois.
Background
These simple spirits came into being when the psychic echo of fear and slaughter became greater than the material world could wash away with simple water and brushes. These echoes resonate in the Shadow Realm, trapped in the shadows and dirt where so much death was wrought so casually.
Description
The spirits of slaughtered animals know nothing but panic and fear. They linger in the world just to desperately prolong their existence before the blades come down. They appear as spectral animals, dripping with blood and splitting open, seemingly at random, under the invisible edges of remembered cleavers. These beings would be ghosts, except they lack Morality and have no relationship to specific animals that once lived in the material world.
Storytelling Hints
Slaughtered-animal-spirits usually appear in groups. What one does, the others do - there is no clear leader. The first one to act determines the actions of the others, usually meaning crowding, crushing or fleeing.
