A crowd of people, grief-stricken, tormented, and screaming, attacking anything nearby.

Instinct: to die

• bite and claw them
• Flicker in and out of existence at random

At first they appear as bestial, but then you notice the scavenged bits of armor, and then the rough-hewn weapons gripped in claw-like hands (or is it hand-like claws?) and finally, the gleam of a true and malevolent intelligence piercing you from beneath it's furred brows. Grimwulf, even the word makes your blood run cold. A Grimwulf is what happens when you take 1 part werewolf, 2 parts rage possessed berzerker warrior, combine them using profane magics to be twice as big and five times as mean, they are capable of thought but suicidally loyal. But the worst part about grimwulves...there's never just one. Instinct: to obey their Master

Treesquid are one of the stranger, but more common, of the new species in this area. Originally spotted far north of Arizona Bay, in the temperate forests of Old Cascadia. Treesquid are known for their eight grasping arms and two extremely strong tentacles tipped with a hooked climbing claw, made of a material similar to their beaks. These quick, nimble creatures swing from branch to branch and leap from tree to tree in the forests, eating small birds, rodents, and pretty much anything else they can catch. A common tactic is to track prey for several miles and then drop on their head or some other exposed weak point when they stop to rest. When it is unable to strike from stealth, treesquid use the suckers on their arms, and the climbing claws on each tentacle to inflict wounds. Treesquid are not usually dangerous to people, though small children have been attacked in the past. Instinct: to hunt prey

• drop on them from above
• grasp and tear
