Coyote Spirit (Lesser God)
Coyote is the most clever and cunning of animal spirits.
He is credited with teaching men crafts such as making weapons, pottery, as well as the summoning and controlling of fire.
Despite the generous side of his personality, however. Coyote is a cowardly thief who often resorts to trickery.
Coyote can polymorph himself into any natural animal once per day.
He can make himself or any obiect invisible for an indefinite period of lime, and can animate any object for up to one week.
His true form is that of a giant silver-furred coyote.
Ropleplaying Tips
Coyote is greedy and conniving. During his frequent attempts to swindle a fellow god, he often assigns difficult jobs to his worshipers, promising great rewards if they succeed.
Most often, he forgets to keep such promises. He is not above bullying a mortal to get what he wants.
Omens from Coyote take the form of strange noises in the
night. Typically, he will only punish his derics for failing at
an assigned task or daring to cheat him.
Such punishments take the form of a cruel trick, such as stealing a cherished possession and giving it to the victim’s enemy.
