Many tales concernt he Mokole. Created
by Gaia to fill the role of her memory, they have always claimed to be
the first born of the changing breeds, and they cherish their descent from
Dinosaurs and from the Dragan kings. They are dwellers in the tropics,
where they live in family groups. Mokole tell tales of the Glory and the
fall of the Dinosaur kings, of the bird kings and the predator kings, of
the time of the great freeze and the coming of the humans. The Garou and
the Mokole were allies in the first times, but the War of the Rage made
them bitter enemies. The Mokole, because primarily because they remember
the war, fear and hate the Garou. They have never considered the war to
be over, nor the Impergium, and they continue to cull humans. the Garou
were merciless to the Mokole during the Wars of Rage and considered them
the very image of the Wyrm, because of their reptilian bodies. Other shapeshifters
are more than freindly with them: the Bastet have long been their allies,
while the Mokole consider the Nagah and Corax to be Mokole with other shapes.
The forefather of the Mokole
is Mokole-Mbembe, Dinosaur King of the Congo. His sons and daughters dwelled
in Africa for eons, but during the Wars of Rage some clutches swam the
seas in their archid form to America. Other Mokole dwell in the rainforests
of Indonesia and Australia; the most prestigous clutch in the east inhabitants
Towers-Above-The-Kings (island of the komodo) The Mokole of ancient Egypt
were worshipped, and a few Hindu temples to this day house sacred crocodiles.
When the Uktena and Croatan came across the Berring straight, they found
the Mokole already in the Americas. As wolves cared little for swamplands,
the Mokole were usually left aloen. Even today, they haunt Bayou Teche
and the Great Dismal swamp.
The wyrmbringers changed
things. The Mokole's human Kinfolk in Africa came to the new world as slaves.
They found allies in the giant reptiles: The Mokole helped Nat Turner and
the Seminoles resist the US government, and the legend has it a Mokole
started the civil war. The mage kin, the bata'a sometimes asked the Mokole
for help in combat or to tap the Dragon's memory. In South America the
Mokole helped slaves flee to the Jungle. Because of the history and geography,
there are few European descended Mokole. As European Garou spread throught
the Americas, they found hints of the Mokole's reclusive existence. Most
,however, thing that the Dragon breed extinct and use the Mokole a threat
to make pups behave.
The struggle to save the
tropical rainforests has brought Mokole and Garou into contact once more.
A few packs in the Amazon, notably the rougue ghost raptors, have managed
to parley with them and form truces of sorts. These werewolves have learned
somethings about there erstwhile foes. The Mokole could be powerful allies,
it is certain that they are dangerous enemies.
Quote - "After rainy season comes
dry season. After dry season comes rainy season. We are patient. Our time
will come again."

-Corax: They are chosen by Sun, too. Their ways are not our own, but the bond of Sun tells us to respect them.
-Nagah: Who says they are not Mokole? They are our brothers and sisters. Treat them as clutchmates.
