One of the least known paranormal creatures of the Sixth World, the Shambleau has so far been sighted in many occasions but never positively observed or captured.

Shambleau victims are not easily identified. The main pointers are a dissipated look, severe denutrition and dehidratation, possibly exposure. Complex-pattern cascade failure of the main internal organs is generally the official cause of death.The Shambleau victim is characteristically covered by a sticky, high-protein-content fluid, that according to the scarce accounts is produced by the worm-like tentacles of the creature. The purpose of this fluid is unknown.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Shambleau has been variously interpreted by researchers as a new strain of HMHVV, or as a case of Insect Spirit Possession. Some connection was also made with the Acheri spirit of Amerindian legend, but this line of study was only superficially covered and never followed up.

>>>>>( The HMHVV line is bogus. As is the possesion. AFAIK the Shambleau's been with us all along. It's simply it's more bold now than it was B2K.  I have some hard data about the thing having astral capabilities and mind-domination potential. The critter's dangerous.
The Hunter
>>>>>( Hey, the way I see it it's just a killer one night stand, right? You know the risks, you take them if you feel.
Banger
>>>>>( RTFM, kid. Denutrition and dehidratation. It's not a nice death, and it can take days! The critter's addictive!
The Hunter
>>>>>( And what good's a sex-fest if you can't go on line and tell your pals about it?
