Wolf Hatred
Wolf Hatred is a Spirit Magath that goes through three stages within the SAS it is featured in.
Overview
| “ | “JESS-I-KAH! GRAAAHHHHHRRRR!” | ” |
Born from the Jessica Dane’s supernaturally-amplified emotions, Wolf Hatred is a terrifying marriage of two concepts: Jessica’s concept of her father as all-powerful, all-protecting werewolf and her own self-loathing for her act of ultimate betrayal.
Description
Wolf Hatred manifests itself in both the Hisil and the physical realm as a giant, rabid wolf (Size 7). It towers over most Uratha in their Hishu and Dalu forms. Its jaws, full of multiple rows of teeth much like a shark’s, are flecked with foam and spittle that glows, almost as if irradiated. Its red-rimmed, dilated eyes burn with hatred. Wolf Hatred’s fur is patchy and missing in many places. Some parts show scars from teeth and claws, as if it were a wolf whose packmates had turned against it.
This spirit seems to be tortured by its own continued existence, and comes close to peace only when sitting in the Wound that is the after-birth of its own creation.
