Editing Werewolf: The Forsaken (section)

===Hosts===
Hosts are the shattered shards of the demon-gods that Father Wolf slew, which mostly exist as roving swarms of creepy-crawlies that occasionally hijack people's bodies for use as meat suits. If they get strong enough, they can forcibly merge with a victim and absorb their flesh to become grotesque half-human half-beasts. Slaying them in this form doesn't guarantee that they're gone- they break into a swarm of vermin upon "dying" and can only be destroyed permanently if every single one of those vermin is killed quickly.

The two main ones are the Azlu (brain-eating spiders with a hybrid form that has razor sharp forelegs and can grow to the size of a car; they also strengthen the Gauntlet with their webs, choking areas out of Essence in the process) and the Beshilu (plague-spreading rats with limited precognitive  abilities that gnaw through the Gauntlet, letting spirits pass through to the mortal world- especially the spirits of disease they ally themselves with). The other ones include the Srizaku (flesh-eating locust swarms that devour every remotely edible object in sight), the Halaku (crows that eat peoples' eyes to turn them into their slaves for fuck-knows-why), the Razilu (snakes who your Storyteller gets to decide what the fuck they want), the Adarusharu (fear-eating wolves who can merge into giant multi-headed wolf-monsters), the Usudwirku (fungus-spirits that infect the victims of werewolves so they can drive wolves batty whilst the fungi-spirits take over their loci), the Uglathlu (worm spirits who steal the bodies of utter scum so they can create festering Wounds in the Shadow), the Thihoshlu (bloated toads that promote sloth and vice, setting themselves up as impartial arbiters among mortals and supernaturals alike so they can engineer conflicts as they sit back and laugh at the whole damned mess; for good measure they can also steal Essence from anyone crossing the Gauntlet and dampen a werewolf's fury with an aura of laziness), the Ukusgualu (lampreys that corrupt the Gauntlet with the blood that they consume until it liquefies and lets them swim through it; they claim that this will one day allow them to return to the ocean of blood they call home), the Hidalgu (electricity-eating wasps whose buzzing resonates through the Gauntlet, inducing nightmares and forcing anyone near to cross it; worse, they can possess people whose ambitions are frustrated through their dreams, turning them into powerful "queens") and the Zundilu (diligent but scatterbrained termites who feed on the Shadow reflections of buildings and structures until they're dead in the Spirit and create world-spanning tunnels to link other places to their nests; [[Demon: The Descent#And Infrastructure is?|occult architecture]] is their favorite food, which has derailed a fair deal of the God-Machine's plans in the past).
