Within the past few years, a Pentex research group has even managed to create mockery breeds: half-formed shapeshifters born of the Wyrm’s power.Īnd now the Wyrm rises to eclipse the Moon, devouring all within its grasp. Buzzards, Skull Pigs, and Balefire Sharks all originated among the ranks of the Changing Breeds, while some specialized Banes can possess shapeshifters. The Black Spiral Dancers are an entire tribe of corrupted Garou, but they’re not the only ones. Nor are Gaia’s children immune to the Wyrm’s depredations. Otherwise-innocuous activities like knocking back a six-pack of Blue Stripe, wearing Magadon’s UltraSheen cosmetics, or driving the new Falcon Pathfinder all of the products involved come from companies that knowingly serve the Wyrm, each one linked to the shadowy Pentex corporation. People who don’t have the time or the money rely on fast food, and O’Tolley’s underpaid workers serve it up with a side of corruption.
