With animal cunning, the Gnawer can force her body into a state near death. Far from a serene, peaceful trance wherein the Garou imitates death, the Gift creates a facade closer to a drowned, bloated rat. The Garou's body stinks of rot, maggots crawl on her and flies gather as if to feast. Only a scrupulous investigation reveals the truth - but most folks won't want to get that close. Most Silver Fangs argue to ban this Gfit at moots and social gatherings. A Decay-spirit teaches this Gift.
The player must spend a Gnosis point and remain perfectly still to activate the Gift. On activation, the Garou resembles a rotting corpse to all senses. When the Gift activates, anyone attempting to detect life in the Garou must roll Perception + Medicine (difficulty equals the user's Manipulation + Subterfuge) and physically examine the 'carcass'.
