Pfuka

Type: Gulgacht (kanean)Player: NPCGame: Near Dark

Appearance:Equine form composed entirely of water, with living tendrils resembling chains, a "water horse."
Abilities:Pfuka feed by dehydration, draining the water from a human body in moments to sustain themselves.
Culture:Pfuka are the only clan of aquatic gulgacht, but this affords them little importance within the hierarchy. On Earth, pfuka have been limited primarily to the British Isles, where tales of mysterious horses that appear and drag young men to their dooms in her many lakes and ponds abound.
Weaknesses:Dehydration will weaken and incapacitate Pfuka not long after they have been separated from water.
Role-Playing:The Pfuka Bancroft met in Near Dark was subservient to him, humble, dutiful, and loyal. Under this layer lurked a certain appreciation for her life on Earth, and it was always clear that human concepts of morality were meaningless to her, and humans meant no more to her than to any other average gulgacht: food.
