The notorious Nosferatu spawning pools embody the heights of animal ghoul making. Within these burbling cauldrons of foulness, sewer creatures batten on Nosferatu blood and mutate into the most efficient home security systems imaginable. Few intruding vampires, no matter how thoroughly they think they have done their research, are prepared for the monstrosities that a spawning pool can vomit forth.

Spawning pools are usually situated in the local Nosferatu warren. Creatures from the nearby sewer are attracted by the vitae and feed from the pools regularly, becoming ghouled. Over time they become bigger, stronger, more aggressive and (being Nosferatu ghoules) uglier and deformed.

System

"Spawning Pool" is a background that can only be bought by Nosferatu. For each point in Spawning Pool a character possesses they must invest one blood per week or the pool will diminish (meaning they will be one point down at the start of every game). If a pool diminishes some of the ghoules feeding from it may turn on their masters for vitae.

While ghoules from a spawning pool won’t attack any Nosferatu unless instructed, they are NOT considered blood bound. The blood in the pool is too diluted to overcome the basic instincts of the animals. However being more aggressive than the standard sewer dwelling creatures, they make excellent security.

The "Spawning Pool" background can be combined with other Nosferatu to create a large Warren pool or kept seperate for a personal haven.
