"Dressed in the skin, the Wolf strolled into the pasture with the Sheep. Soon a little Lamb was following him about and was quickly led away to slaughter." - The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing - Aesop

DESCRIPTION

The Good Shepherd was inspired by the short children's fable "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," which is as follows:

A certain Wolf could not get enough to eat because of the watchfulness of the Shepherds. But one night he found a sheep skin that had been cast aside and forgotten. The next day, dressed in the skin, the Wolf strolled into the pasture with the Sheep. Soon a little Lamb was following him about and was quickly led away to slaughter.

That evening the Wolf entered the fold with the flock. But it happened that the Shepherd took a fancy for mutton broth that very evening and, picking up a knife, went to the fold. There the first he laid hands on and killed was the Wolf.

The Moral of the story being:
The evildoer often comes to harm through his own deceit.

A porcupine-like Wesen that can expose and retract needle-like quills as a defense mechanism. Stangebärs are generally peaceful and docile, similar in nature to a Mauzhertz, Reinigen or Eisbiber. They tend to find work in areas that allow them to be outdoors. When Woged, Stangebärs display an impressively thick coat of colored quills, or spines, used both for armor as well as camouflage.

Coyote creatures, known for being mean, nasty, and all around bullies. They are often considered the equivalent of street gangs in the Wesen world. They have a very strong pack mentality and don't take kindly to anyone straying from the sacred bond of the pack. Because of this, they have a reputation for inbreeding. Coyotls implement an ancient ritual consummation called the aseveracion in order to introduce a female into the pack. The ceremony can only be performed after the female's 17th year and under a full moon.
