An impeccant is akin to a gremlin, but is also a shape-shifter. Their favorite thing to do is to imitate a sock in a laundry basket, then slither out of the washing machine after you turn away, leaving you in perpetual wonderment as to where the missing sock went. Their second-favorite activity is to eel themselves into your car wherever you've parked it, turn the volume knob way up, then depart. Being shape-shifters gives them the ability to do these things impeccably: they are never caught, thus their name.

Accidie are microscopic parasites which occasionally infest the bellows of accordions and eat holes in them, causing a total inability to produce sound. A subspecies infest banjoes and fill up the soundbox.

Chorks are small and transparent but can be quite dangerous to one's career. Their prefered habitat is the dry hot air of conference rooms and lecture halls where they lurk waiting for their victims to become lethargic. When the muscles of the throat become sufficiently relaxed the chork will slip into the nasal passages cutting of air to the lungs and causing the victim to wake suddenly and noisily. Hence their name.

A pluviose is a relatively harmless film noir spirit guide that conjures up stormy weather just for the emotional effect on its victims. It's the reason it always seems to rain at funerals and when you are lost driving on an unfamiliar country road at night. It will follow you around after having just hired Sam Spade (hired to find out why you lost your significant other) and is the same reason *prominent people seem to die "in threes".

An empyrean is a nasty little worm which crawls inside its victim's ear, eats through the eardrum and into the brain, and settles down there, subjecting the victim to delusions. Many victims come to believe that they are Napolean Bonaparte, although some think they are Alexander the Great.

Saulie is a single spirit, who has been wandering the earth since the time of hell's forging. He was hired by Lucifer himself to hang around graves sites after funerals and capture the spirits of the dead as they rise from the grave. This was a common practice back when people were often buried alive, but as he was promised payment of everlasting life Saulie remains and is most often found hanging around mob bosses trying to find out where the next "hit" will be.

A saulie who hangs out with Carp hoping to convince himself that the grave site they occupy is populated by intelligent life forms.
