Then something sent a shiver down her spine. "Such anger...", a voice came from the shadows of the trees, "Such beautiful anger..."

A shadow rushed out from the trees, knocking the doe down. She gasped in shock, looking up to see a black, slender creature staring down at her - a stoat. "Wha...?", she tried to say, but her voice was giving in. "Shhh...", the stoat said to her, "Just let the infection take you over."

Zephyr's body became wrapped in the substance the stoat was made of. She tried to cry in pain, but she couldn't make a sound now. She struggled, but when enough of her was covered, she relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

Name - Iugulare (yuu-guu-LAH-reh)

Means - "to cut the throat" in Latin, comes from ugulare mortuos, "to cut the throats of the dead"

Nickname - The Stoat

Gender - Female

History - A weasel-like creature with powers of infection and manipulation. Her body is composed fully of a black goo-like substance that burns on contact and grows as far as it can on a host body. Victims wear themselves out struggling to remove the infection, and as it grows they become drowsy and eventually fall into a deep sleep. While the victim is asleep, they have pleasant yet distorted dreams, and almost always they don't realize they are dreaming and believed that meeting the Stoat was actually a nightmare. (On occasion, a victim can realize that they are in a dream world, and can wake themselves up, but it leads to them feeling pain once more, and they often die in the process of saving themselves) During this time, Iugulare is able to manipulate their body to follow orders. The victim unwillingly becomes a minion, often called an 'infected'. The more victims she infects, the stronger she becomes, and she actually grows taller.

She was an accidental creation of the talux (winged deer), and little by little she killed off the talux, until only two were left. In Divine Protection she was defeated by Quad, who himself was a talux, but it was never known if she was fully destroyed.

In Divine Retribution, Zephyr and her friends discover that the Stoat is still alive, and later on you'll find out she plays a role in Divine Sanctuary

Personality - Character traits are still being developed, but a few things are known about her. She believes all other creatures are weak minded, and she shows no remorse when infecting them. She considers her minions to be disposable, and her ultimate goal is to spread her infection around the world. She is observant, often looking for weaknesses in others, and is very chaotic in nature.

Additional -
Eye Color - Grey
Body Color - Black (sometimes with a grey or white underbelly)

Outbreaks known - 4

Quotes -
"Their ignorance will be their downfall."
"I have waited so long for this day, the last meeting between the two of us. Now it has come, and at long last I will claim what is mine."
"A world of chaos is easier to control than one of order."

The Real Iugulare -

Profile
Infecting a doe
"My doe! Get your own!"
"You're next!"

I actually found a cool song that fits her really well, too... Daughry - All These Lives

"You're not a person, you're a disease..."

Silent found a song that reminds her of Iugulare too: Breaking Benjamin - Evil Angel

"Put me to sleep, evil angel..."

And another one I thought would work...kind of: Duran Duran - Nite-Runner

"Nite-Runner, I think I'm fallin' for ya..."
