The alien grotesquerie of the Namtaru’s Horror lives just beneath her human facade. She need make only the slightest effort to surrender to the Horror and let it tear through her skin to impose its nature on the world. The modifications from this Atavism are expressions of the Primordial Dream; their presence creates ripples in the physical realm. Witnessing modifications is a breaking point for most humans (Beast: The Primordial, p. 155) which triggers Heroic Tracking (Beast: The Primordial, p. 206) to the location.
Action: Instant (normal effect) or Reflexive (low Satiety and Satiety expenditure)
Normal Effect: A portion of the Primordial Dream bulges or tears through the Beast’s skin, modifying her human form. She may manifest modifications equal to half her Lair dots (round up). Each one takes an instant action to draw through her flesh, or force to recede. The Beast’s modifications are not fixed — she may summon different effects with each use of this Atavism. Refer to the nearby sidebar for modification examples.
Low Satiety: The Horror is impatient to tear through the Beast. She may summon each modification as a reflexive action, though it still takes instant actions to force each one to recede.
Satiety Expenditure: The Beast’s body is the Horror’s can- vas, twisting her into a nightmarish amalgamation. Her desired modifications simultaneously mutate her form but the Horror goes further in reinforcing her weak human flesh. The Beast gains (Lair + 3) dots to distribute between Strength, Dexterity, and Stamina — at least one dot must be allocated to each. At the end of the scene the Beast gains the Fatigued Condition as all modifications melt into ephemera and her body painfully twists back into its usual shape.
