Line 98:
** In ''[[Vampire: The Requiem]]'', they can still look butt ugly, but the "wrongness" about them is more of a floating quality not tied directly to appearance. One of them can be as pretty as a supermodel, but still disquiet people because they smell strongly of embalming fluid.
** ''Requiem'' also features the Carnival, a bloodline founded by "the Andalusan Mermaid", a circus freak who was saved from her sadistic owner by a passing vampire. Every last one of the Carnival is deformed in some way or another. The book discussing them specifically warns that they tend not to be as nice as traditional freaks were. Their clan of origin, for irony's sake, are [[The Beautiful Elite|the Daeva]].
* The ''[[Serial Killer|Slasher]]'' [[Sourcebook]] for ''[[New World of Darkness]]'' features Freaks and Mutants as Slasher archetypes. The Freaks draw from sources like ''[[The Hills Have Eyes]]'' -- individuals who've turned reclusive and atavistic due to their deformities. The Mutants, their natural progression, draw more from sources like ''[[The Descent (Filmfilm)|The Descent]]'', as their mutations have caused them to become something other than human.
