The Mockery Breeds

The last great achievement of Pentex and a new horde of monsters from the World of
Darkness, this new army is slowly spreading on the planet preparing for the coming of the
apocalypse, their birth could be considered an omen in favor of the Wyrm so the Garous must
hurry and put an end to this new threat.
The Mockery Breeds could offer a higher risk for Gaia's followers as, firstly, they do not
suffer from the mental disorders and deformities of the Black Spiral Dancers. Secondly, some
of the parody races can create a larger number of members, such as the Yeren. And third and
not least, these monsters were born in the cities, they know better than anyone else how the
world works, the Dancers are lagging behind and only a small faction of them have adapted
to the changes, the Dancers expect a final battle conducted by two armies that will define the
destiny of the cosmos but the Garous of the Wyrm are wrong, the final battle will not be the
consequence of the clash of two nations, the last great war will be fought on the stock
exchange and the most astute buyer will be the one who claims the throne of this world both
physical and spiritual.

About the Contents of this Book

This book is a revised edition of Mockery Breeds. In this supplement you will find
corrections in the historical background of the tribes. There are also adjustments in powers,
backgrounds, merits and flaws.
 The Garou Nation as well as the other
Changing Breeds do not know what to do
with these monsters. The Anurana could
be useful allies, but not all tribes agree, for
them they are still an insult to Gaia. Only
time will tell what decision the champions
of Mother Nature have come to.

The New Anurana

Considered a complete failure by the
Lycaon project, Pentex terminated the
creation of more "frogmen". But it wasn't
until a few years ago that a group of young
Lycaon scientists managed to convince
their superiors to reopen the Anurana
project and thanks to a "divine
intervention" a second, much stronger and
more efficient generation could be created.
