== Description ==
A Grudge is the spirit of someone who died in the middle of a violent anger. They appear much as they did in life, only with a permanent scowl and blacked-out eyes.
== Location ==
Wherever something terrible has happened to a person where emotional energies ran high enough to imprint themselves and leave behind the entity.
== Modus Operandi ==
A Grudge has but one goal in their existence: the destruction of anyone who still has life. Unlike a regular ghost, they cannot be reasoned with. Their hatred is such that even those with good intentions will wind up being destroyed. The Grudge haunts the place where it was murdered, and in many cases they will use their Shell Possession ability on their own corpse (it ONLY works on their own corpse) to hunt down and kill trespassers. If the target somehow escapes the Grudge or defeats its physical form, the creature will use its Partial Possession on that person before they escape completely. As time passes, they will attempt to drive their host mad until that person replicates the events that led to the death of the Grudge in their own lives using the Becoming ability. The target will attempt to resist as long as they can, but finally will give in, and when they die they return as a Grudge. If the target escapes without being possessed, the Grudge will try one last thing: Enthralling the target so they can’t help but return.
== Neutralization ==
Grudges can be exorcised. Destroying their physical form only results in them becoming even more angry and duplicating themselves inside of you like a plague. The GM may choose a way to defeat them involving their backstory, but in many cases Grudges don’t care about things like bringing their murderer to justice (in many cases they probably committed suicide anyway).
