The blight-shroudcat is a predator the Bruise grew for itself out of something that was once a hunting-cat: lean, silent, and all but invisible in the rust-fog it hunts through. It stalks the edges of the Weeping Front, drops on the stragglers of a caravan, and is gone into the mist before the scream is finished.
