Beast Cults

A recent cultural phenomenon that has begun to crop up in human and Monster communities, Beast Cults are reminiscent of the ancient Monster Cults that once proliferated among the most desperate and downtrodden of Men during previous eras and the animistic Monster Worship that occur in places such as Zipangu. Most often operating in secret and consisting of members who are suffering from Beast Syndrome, these dangerous groups revere Beasts and seek to undermine their host communities by introducing Beasts into them. Many learn techniques that allow them to corrupt natural animals into Beasts or conjure Beasts through Magic, and some even develop the ability to create Lairs. As the vast majority of their members have some degree of Beast Syndrome, Beasts themselves are usually not hostile to them, and may even defend these groups.
Beast Cults are an insidious threat to all of civilization, often born from those who have themselves stood against these horrors, only to become corrupted by the affliction their blood and flesh can spread. Others join from resentment towards society, from the desire for power, or out of fear of Beasts and the hope of gaining a measure of protection against their ire.
