M.O.M. Classification: XXX<br />
The Pogrebin is a Russian demon, barely a foot tall, with a hairy<br />
body but a smooth, oversized grey head. When crouching, the<br />
Pogrebin resembles a shiny, round rock. Pogrebins are attracted <strong>to</strong><br />
humans <strong>and</strong> enjoy tailing them, staying in their shadow <strong>and</strong><br />
crouching quickly should the shadow’s owner turn around. If a<br />
Pogrebin is allowed <strong>to</strong> tail a human for many hours, a sense of<br />
great futility will overcome its prey, who will eventually fall in<strong>to</strong><br />
a state of lethargy <strong>and</strong> despair. When the victim s<strong>to</strong>ps walking <strong>and</strong><br />

Pogrebin will leap upon them <strong>and</strong> attempt <strong>to</strong> devour them.<br />
