Introduction
Some things are simply not supposed to exist.
Things that defy the laws of man and nature.
One such impossibility is the Abomination:
Kindred Garou. Werewolves who have been
cursed with vampiric unlife.
The many Changing Breeds are the
embodiment of life and champions of the
natural world. Vampires are death incarnate,
beings who break the cycle of life and death,
serving only their unnatural hunger. Their
natures are in opposition.
Abominations are also known as the
"Undying Children," "Vrykolakas," "Pale
Ones," and "Luna's Demons." These unfortu-
nate hybrids are hated and feared by Kindred
and Garou alike. The majority live short lives.
Abominations often end their own lives
themselves when they realise what they have
become. Others surrender to rage and hun-
ger, going berserk until they are mercifully
put down by other Kindred or Garou.
Only one in a hundred Garou arise as a
vampire, becoming an Abomination. Ga-
rou are innately allergic to vampire blood
(known as vitae). When they ingest it, they
react violently, immediately vomiting up the
toxic substance. It is hard to convert a lychan
into a ghoul, and Embracing one is even
more of a challenge. Even if a werewolf can
keep down the vampiric blood, their ties to
the spirit world make it challenging for their
body to resurrect as an undead: their spirit
typically departs their body, crossing over to
whatever fate awaits, causing the resurrection
to fail. Others die in torturous agony, as their
body tears itself apart from the inside.

Like all vampires, if an Abomination is impaled
