The Origin
Appearing only in the shadow of dumpsters, as a rustling up in the trees, and as a heavy thump and rattle across rooftops, the "Cooper City Devil" is a creature that's recently arrived in the alleys and sewers of Cooper City, a Miami, Florida, suburb.
Those who have seen this chalk-white creature with their own eyes are convinced it's not a story. As best as they can describe, it looks like a hairless raccoon the size of a tiger. But unlike a tiger, the Cooper City Devil seems like it would rather watch people than eat them. At least, at first. Because once someone sees the creature once, it seems like it's only a matter of time before they see it a second time a few weeks later at their residence, staring in through the window, or worse yet, digging up from the basement. The creature doesn't attack people unless it's first attacked. It seems to be after medicines of any and all sorts, but will take a bite out of a scared suburbanite if pressed.

Interaction: The Cooper City Devil can sometimes give the appearance of understanding conversation directed at it. It cocks its head, listening. It raises its handlike paws as if attempting a gesture. It may even give up a small item from its lair in return for a bottle of pain relievers or something more potent. However, it never speaks, and its chittering can sound threatening. If anyone successfully tracks it back to its lair, it flies into a deadly rage, attacking with no other goal in mind but erasing whoever knows where it lives.
Use: Someone claims that their elderly grandmother is regularly visited by the Cooper City Devil, a creature that consistently cleans the grandmother out of needed medications, and ate the grandmother's cat.
Other Equipment: If tracked back to its lair, the Cooper City Devil has a couple of expensive items, all kinds of pharmaceuticals, and one divergent timeline cypher.
The Cooper City Devil's poison is an intense narcotic-like substance produced in the creature's saliva.
GM Intrusion: The character bitten by the Cooper City Devil must make a second Might defense roll or fall unconscious from shock. Unconsciousness lasts for
