Line 13:
** [[Body Horror|The Hosts]]...especially spider hosts... Ugh! To clarify, there are tiny spiritual spiders that want to colonize your body. They will likely begin by ''eating your brain'' until you are functionally non-existent. Then they move in and start colonizing...
** Nosferatu (see Old World of Darkness below) are in the [[Vampire: The Requiem (Tabletop Game)|New World Of Darkness]] too. But it gets better: now they aren't ''required'' to be horrifically ugly. Some of them still are, of course, that's just how it goes, but some of them look just like you or me... but when you look at them, there's something... off. Something on a deep level that makes you feel like they're only seconds away from tearing your heart out and sucking the blood from the ventricles. And then they smile, and you wonder why you felt like that...
** The worst paranoia isn't from any of these. It's all of them as a collective. There are monsters ''everywhere,'' they pretend to be human and there's ''no way'' to defend yourself against them. Thank god for [[Hunter: The Vigil (Tabletop Game)|the Vigil...]]<br /><br />On the other hand, the Vigil has the [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|potential]] to [[It Got Worse|make it even worse]]; that werewolf pack they took out? They could have been the only thing standing between your neighborhood and a bunch of irritable spirits that want to force their way into your world and wear your skin like a new set of clothes.
* In the ''[[Old World of Darkness (Tabletop Game)|Old World of Darkness]]'':
** [[Mega Corp|Pentex]]. The company that produces just about everything, from computer chips to duct tape, that you might come into contact with during the course of modern life -- and makes sure that all of it is in some way designed to destroy your health, your sanity, or your very soul. That hamburger you're eating? It's tainted with spiritual corrosion. That movie you're watching? It's engineered to turn you callous and violent. That aspirin you just took for your headache? It's going to give you something a whole lot worse.<br /><br />Pentex also makes toys that have evil spirits inside. At night and when left alone with the kids they will come to life. Then after several "the child thinks the dolls talk to him" reports, the toy will ''kill the childs parents and blame it on the child''. Bonus points if the child is convinced the toy is his only friend. Have fun playing now, kids!<br /><br />All these products are created by subsidiary companies, so you can't stay safe just by watching out for a Pentex logo, and none of them will (usually) do you any major harm on their own... but every little bit erodes your bodily and spiritual integrity further, and one day you will be past that crucial threshold that will allow an evil spirit to crawl inside of your skin and turn you into an insane, deformed, mutated abomination that will destroy everything you touch during your brief remaining life, and then die messily and painfully. And then, more likely than not, your tumorous body will be ground down by those industrious Pentex folks and used as an ingredient in the next batch of tainted pizza toppings...
