PAGUK:
The loathsome Paguk have been the bane of the Timiskaming Algonquin
and Timagami Ojibwa tribes for hundreds of years. They are hideous
predators of the night, undead creatures that stalk their human prey.
According to Native American legend, the Paguk, or Baykok as they are
sometimes known, were once a clan of hunters who became lost and starved
to death. Fueled a monstrous hated of the living, they returned to life
to begin a new hunt: to murder human beings and devour their livers.
The Paguk resembles a skeleton tightly wrapped in a glistening,
transparent flesh. Its eyes glow like hot coals. They are fast and
stealthy, working in tandem to stalk and kill human prey. They frighten
humans out into the open, to cut them down with arrows. After
paralyzing them with a potent venom, the Paguk will slit open the torso
and devour the liver, as the victim still living watches in horror-
unable to move or even scream. Paguk will try to kill all humans who
enter their homes, but go to great lengths to slay any hunters or
soldiers unlucky enough to disturb their habitat.
The Paguk cannot be destroyed by traditional zombie killing methods.
Not only can they survive a decapitation or head trauma like a demonic
zombie, but they are capable of rapidly regenerating themselves. The
Paguk must "recharge" this fearsome ability by devouring a nutrient
rich human liver. If deprived of a food source for several days, the
Paguk is weakened and can be destroyed by conventional practices.
It is possible that the Paguk may be related to the Ahkiyyinni,
another evil undead spirit of Native American lore. They are both the
reanimated spirits of warriors, but so far there has been no concrete
evidence to support this theory.

SPECIAL ABILITIES:
-Paguk are immune to disease, poison and fatigue. They feel no pain, and
can shrug off massive wounds. Paguks possess remarkable healing
abilities, but must consume a human liver about once a week to keep strong.

-Paguks are immune to holy artifacts of every kind. They have no fear of
crucifixes, holy water, silver Etc. Etc.

-Unlike other forms of undead, the Paguk is cunning and resourceful,
intelligent enough to build traps, stalk prey, and use weapons. They are
fond of arrows and war clubs.

-The Paguk's jaws generate coagulant to stop the bleeding as it devours
its prey.

-The claws of a Paguk are tipped with paralytic venom. The venom keeps
the victim alive and unable to move.

-Paguk have boundless energy and able to run, climb trees, dig pit
traps, and even fight hand-to-hand. They have been clocked running at
speeds of thirty miles an hour.

SOCIOLOGY: Paguk are constantly on the move, searching for new prey.
They only stop the hunt occasionally to make more arrows or grab a new
club. They stay together in packs, and work in tandem to bring down a
human target. Somewhat similar to the Radioactive Zombie, they only
devour a certain portion of the human body: the liver. They make no
attempts to cook the liver and instead eat it on the spot. Like the
Ahkiyyinni, they are bound to a certain area, and will not deviate from
the Great Lakes Region.
