The Blind are a degenerate group of creatures that enjoy
- and perhaps need - terror. While purebloods
need no reason other than their horrible appearance and rumoured
savagery to fear them, even other Changelings avoid or destroy
the Blind.
The Blind appear as other furs, save that they lack eyes.
Gouged holes remain where once these were. These creatures
seem to like putting odd things in the sockets, usually disturbing
articles such as doll's heads or collections of cutlery. It
has been suggested that they derive a form of comfort from
this activity. The Blind gain pleasure from frightening and
harassing other furs. They rarely kill - that would end the
fun. They can appear to be able to create others of their
own kind by blinding another fur during a sadistic ritual
which may be a mockery of the process that Commeddia
use to reproduce. The resulting creatures join the Blind as
one of their own.
Technically, the Blind appear to be dead. They have no pulse,
and their bodies are cold. They don't appear to rot or disintegrate,
but they certainly do not heal as well as Haemophages.
Thus they tend to bear scars from battles with other Changelings
- Haemophages, especially refuse to tolerate the Blind in
their areas, though this may be because their cold blood is
somehow attractive and they are a much-abused food source.
The Blind themselves do not appear to require fuel. It is
possible that they derive sustenance from hurting or maiming
others. Likewise, they do not seem to be affected by heat
or cold, allowing them to inhabit very unpleasant areas.
Pockets of the Blind are destroyed by the Changeling Control
Division wherever they appear. They appear to be immune to
inhibitors, and display no recognisable sanity or humanity.
Commeddia will kill any of the Blind that they find, as these
creatures are prone to assaulting even the peculiar Masks.
