Bio
A terrifying Tzimisce from the old world, the Forest of Teeth has spent its existence appearing from the darkness of both Europe and the Americas to devour those who grow careless. It is also known to seek out and steal the teeth of many creatures and add them to its own mouths. It used to be seen amongst the ranks of the Sabbat, including the founding of the Sect, but now acts on its own. After centuries of bloodshed, it's unclear just how much that is attributed to it is true. It's basically a bogeyman and cryptid for vampires.
Rumors
- It can be found deep in the woods at night. It doesn't matter which forest, only that it is dark and deep.
- It can turn itself into fog and travel across seas that way
- It hunts kindred who abuse their childer (or vice versa)
- It's diablerizing all it can to become an antediluvian
- There are actually several of them, working to appear as only one entity for nefarious purpose.
- It returned to Romania some time ago, all the recent sightings are rumors and false attributions
- Rumored by some to be infernal
- This page states neonate, but its actual generation is unknown, given that it has diablerized many.
Quotes
"DEVOUR THEM!"
- "The Forest of Teeth is a fearsome spirit,
With a song so heartbreaking one shudders to hear it.
No one knows how this thing was created,
Or why its cursed hunger can never be sated.
In moonlit forests of mist it prowls,
While night-birds shriek and the lone wolf howls.
So do not tarry, and be ever wary,
And whisper a prayer to sweet Mother Mary
That the Forest of Teeth tonight will not find you --
Alas, too late! It is there, right behind you!" - Zoltan Vancura
- "Oh FUCK that thing! If I never see that monster again, it will be too soon! It's not here is it?!" - Fiadh
- "We're old friends. I pity those who mistake it's rage for madness." -Bob
- "Fascinating, breathtaking... and strangely enchanting in their own way." - Melissa Anaktoria
