Penumbra Spirits

===Ancestor Spirits===
Ancestor-spirits tend to be shifters who's songs get sung by Galliards due to their triumph or tragedy. They usually had the Howl For the Departed or other rites done for them. Mystics disagree if they are the "ghosts" of the ancestors or ephemera spirits that embody the memories and personalities of the deceased. Ancestor spirits tend to be found at the caern where the shifter was interred in the Hall of Heroes.
===Banes===
The spirit manifestations of the Wyrm, banes are the jagglings, BSD pack totems, gafflings, toxin (elemental) spirits, etc. They serve Hive Totems and Maeljin Incarna.
===Chimerlings===
The Garou name for chimera, chimerlings are native to the Dreaming not the Umbra. However, they can sometimes get lost or forced to cross over. Normally they feed only from glamour but they can, out of desperation, learn to feed from gnosis or pathos.
===Elementals===
They are very simple spirits that manifest the spiritual nature of classical western elements like fire, air, earth, water, classical eastern elements like fire, earth, metal, water and wood. There are also modern elemental spirits like electrical, cement, glass and plastic.
===Englings===
Englings are mindless gnosis batteries that can have a triadic or celestial affinity. Englings of Luna are called lunes, englings of Helios are called flares.
===Naturae===
Plant, animal and region spirits, Naturae are some of the most commonly encountered type of spirits outside of cities. Before the Shattering, almost every stream, glen, mountain, animal had an active spirit tethered to it. Most of them slid into torporous slumber or faded all together, leaving a largely barren and featureless Umbra.
===Epiphlings===
These spirits embody concepts like peace, death, hope, envy. Some mystics believe that they are more recent editions to the Umbrood than other spirits, post-Impergium, possibly post-Sundering.
