Chapter Nine
APPENDIX: A DEATH VALLEY BESTIARY

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There was sand and hills and rings
- America, “Horse with No Name”.

In this bestiary will be listed the most common large animals in

Death Valley, animals that can be friends or foes. Three species that are
now extinct in Death Valley, the grizzly bear, jaguar, and wolf will be
listed as well. These species will be included because they would make
fierce antagonists and the Government is currently planning to
reintroduce native species that have been exterminated to the national
parks. In addition statistics will be given for those spirits most likely to be
encountered in the area. These statistics will not include those already
given in the Antagonists chapter but will include many native faerie races
and monsters.

Animals
“Wildlife includes several raptors, such as the golden eagle and the prairie falcon, as well as bighorn
sheep.”
- California Wilderness Areas Volume 2: The Deserts by National Geographic.

All animals, no matter their species, will have the following traits: Mental 1, Social 1, Survival
(foraging hunting, and tracking) 4, a Gnosis score equal to Willpower and a Rage score (used to make extra
actions only, animals do not frenzy) equal to the Brawl score and they can also split their dice pool to do
extra attacks per turn. Thanks to The Bygone Bestiary by White Wolf games for some of the statistics given
below. Changes can be made to these statistics to create monsters simply by changing their size,
appearance, and making their attacks do aggravated damage. When changing a creature’s size add or
subtract the Attribute modifier given below to the creature’s Strength, Stamina and Health level rolls and
remember to change the Difficulty modifier to reflect the new size. The difficulty modifier is added or
subtracted to all rolls to detect the creature or to strike the creature.

Size Example Attribute Modifier Difficulty Modifier

Fine insects -4 +3
Diminutive rat -3 +2
Tiny cat -2 +1
Small dog -1 0
Medium man sized 0 0
Large horse 0 0
Huge rhino +1 -1
Giant elephant +2 -2
Colossal whale +3 -3

 For example, a mountain lion mutated to the size of a rhinoceros by radioactive waste would add
+1 to strength, stamina, and life points but would be easer to see coming and would make a larger target.

Bats
The bats of Death Valley are all small, harmless insect eaters. The only real danger from them is
having them swarm about you in a precarious situation, thus distracting you, or from being bitten by the
rare rabid animal. The most interesting desert species are the Mexican free tailed bats that inhabit some
local caves in the thousands and the pallid bat which eats mainly scorpions and thus is immune to their
venom.

SPIRITS
In the land of the pigmies there was a strange sight, from mountain to mountain a bowstring was
stretched and a line of dust rose where they danced
-Traditional Shoshone Indian chant.

All the spirits given below are from the myths of the American
Indians of the Southwestern deserts. They are all typical adult
individuals of their kind and physical statistics may vary with age or
even the whim of the spirit. These spirits rarely materialize in this day
and age and when they are reported the witnesses are usually labeled
kooks by the media.

Dragon (Couatl)
The couatl is the Amphiptere of America. The couatl appears
as a winged, poisonous, serpent covered with brilliant green body
feathers and with bird-like wings and a feathered crest in a rainbow of

7
hues. These majestic dragons are the sacred spirits of rain who bring life giving moisture to the parched
desert sands. This role means that they were worshiped much like the dragons of China throughout the
southwest, indeed Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec God of Life, was depicted as one of these dragons.

Venom (as the Garou Gift).

Dragon (Piasa)
The Piasa is the guivre of America. It appears as a huge scaly
jaguar with the claws of a bear, the antlers of a deer, the face of a man,
and the tail of a fish. The wings are those of a bat but they are covered
in feathers like a bird. Piasas vary from helpful guardians of the umbra
to vicious man eaters in Indian mythology and thus are much like the
dragons of European myth.

Dragon (Wakinyan)
The Wakinyan is the American Wyvern. Like its British cousin it
resembles a serpent with a crocodilian head, two legs and bat’s wings. Unlike its
cousin, however this spirit lacks armored scales and a poisonous sting. Instead
the wakinyan is covered in smooth silvery white metallic skin and can breathe
bolts of lightning. These gigantic dragons were believed to have warred with the
horned serpents sometime in the past and still feel anger towards Unktena’s
brood. Today reports of these creatures are usually dismissed as UFO reports
even by the terrified airplane pilots who are occasionally chased out of the
desert by one of these spirits. After all which are your superiors more likely to
believe, that you were attacked by a UFO or by a 90 foot long flying crocodile?

Willpower: 10 Rage: 9 Gnosis: 7 Power: 60 Size: Colossal (-3)

Dzoo-no-qua
The Dzoo-no-qua are troll like earth spirits made of living stone. They are
ponderous 12 foot giants that carry whole uprooted tree trunks as clubs. Unseelie Dzoo-no-
qua are man eating horrors responsible for the disappearance of many hikers and campers in
the badlands. Seelie members of this troll tribe in contrast may move heavy objects or
otherwise help others but will remain hidden if at all possible.

level per turn but takes aggravated damage from fire).

Eye Killer
The eye killer is a vile cockatrice like monster with the head and legs of an
owl, the wings of a bat and the tail of a serpent. This cat sized beast differs from its
relative in having two huge eyes that shoot beams of electricity at its victims instead
of a gaze that turns its victim to stone. An eye killer’s gaze can merely shock a
victim or cause fatal burns depending upon the intensity of the beams.

Hohoq
Hohoqs (pronounced “Hoh-hoks”) are banes that from a distance appear to be winged
men. Up close they more closely resemble a cross between a pterodactyl and an owl
with dark brown to gray leathery skin, blazing red eyes in a gorilla like face and a
toothed beak. Legend says that they are the spirits of witches wronged by a faithless
husband. Like UFOS these creatures can cause automobiles to stall and often appear as
omens of disaster.

damage, Paralyzing Stare (as the Garou Gift), Short Out.

Kai-nu-suvs
The Kai-nu-suvs are the elves of Death Valley. These
spirits take the form of small men with skin as pale as
sunset clouds and hair as white as snow. Some say their
king wears a crown of antlers. The Kai-nu-suvs ride
bighorn sheep and use coyotes to herd the valley’s deer. In the old days any Indian who killed a deer or
bighorn was supposed to leave some of the meat to the elves in payment. Those Indians who failed to leave
the Kai-nu-suvs their tribute would be elf-shot for stealing from the faerie herds. These elves are associated
with the spirit Wee-sa-kee-jac (corrupted to “Whisky Jack” by Europeans) the local name for the trickster
god Coyote.

9
Ohdowa
The ohdowa are small reptilian humanoids similar to the
kobolds of Europe. Ohdowas are possessed of huge eyes and ears,
are covered with rusty red to black scales, and have long tails. The
Indians believe that the ohdowa were the prototypes of humanity,
discarded by the Creator long ago because of their extreme ugliness.
In shame these small goblins fled underground. There they mine for
the metals used by the other faerie races of the desert.

Pa-o-has
Pa-o-has are water spirits resembling mermaids that inhabit the valley’s rivers
and lakes. These spirits can often be seen swimming around or sitting on the shore
while combing their hair. They are famed for using their singing to lure unwary men
and children close enough to drown them.

Galliard gift).

Thunderbird
The thunderbird of the American southwest is an immense
eagle-like condor with a 30 foot wingspan. It is sometimes confused
with the much larger Wakinyan from a distance but it has feathers and
cannot breathe lightning, though its wings can flap with the sound of
thunder and create windstorms and tornados.

Willpower: 8 Rage: 8 Gnosis: 4 Power: 60 Size: Huge (-1)

Charms: Airt Sense, Clap of Thunder (as the Shadow Lord gift), Create Wind, Eyes of the Raptor,

U-nu-pits
U-nu-pits are banes, spirits of serpents and disease. Theses demons live
in the craggy mountains where they seek to cause illness and injury by tripping
(or pushing) people off of cliffs, causing landslides, and placing snakes in their
beds. Like many banes they can also posses others. A possessed victim may
have the demon driven out by having the exorcist cut the victim with an obsidian
knife and rubbing the wound with ash and live coals while a circle of chanters
surround the Ritemaster.

otherwise as the Ratkin gift).

Yan-tups
Yan-tups are water spirits similar to naiads and nixies. A nymph of
lakes, rivers, and springs Yan-tups are skilled in music and dancing, and are
supposed to have healing powers. Like all water nymphs they often seduce
men and attempt to carry them off to their underwater realms. In Death
Valley’s salt pools however it was believed that these Nymphs were truly
evil and became corrupted as their lakes dried up and became encrusted
with arsenic laded Epsom salts. These evil spirits sit by the salt pools
singing of their loss and waiting to poison some unwary man with a kiss.
