Editing LeviathanTempest:RavenDumpingGround (section)

=== Lahmasu Strains ===

Leviathan started as a simple idea: "White Wolf has done all the classic monsters, except the creature from the Black Lagoon". That idea didn't last long, and when I started writing it was my intent to bring the Black Lagoon back. The Lahmasu seemed like the natural place. Each are based on a different stereotypy ranging from sea monsters, to horror films: 

Gugal - Are quite simply Lovecraft's deep ones. Their unique tendency to actually have genetically stable populations makes it possible for them to actually have a functional and lasting undersea city. (Leviathan controlled or fearcly independent) 

Abuu - Born cultists who see their mutations as proof of divine favour and their natural role as priests.  

Mahhu - A horror classic, the creepy person who knows stuff. The swamp witch or delpadated gas station owner for example. 

Heqen - The knowledge to the Mahhu's wisdom. Strange tribes in touch with nature, the supernatural and the astral realm. 

Pelopsids - Pelopsids are mermaids (tails are optional, but not rare). Ranging from pretty love interests to vicious predators who feed on humans. They can often use siren songs too. 

Gibborim - The creature from the black lagoon itself. Vicious claws, vicious instincts, and often a predator's cunning. 

Hemitheos - The Tribe are gods (well technically 1/3 gods), so their children are demigods (well 1/6 gods). Hemitheos take this literally, they're a demigod in the greek sense, like Hercules.
