=== Buggane ===
More "advanced" and powerful Bugges, typically centered around a narrative of impending doom, building up power and then acting decisively.<ref name=bestiary3">'''Buggane''' - Advanced Bugge, the Buggane tend to build around a narrative, such as impending doom or grim prophecy. It can represent an impending winter or disaster.  May serve a role as punishers, stand in contrast to Bugge as being very strong, even brutish.  Everything builds up to a conclusion where they act. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nJ6fmch0SH6DMo3dDr2fOd1HK2zILjsvwlBYxk5tDPM/edit#heading=h.tqdoyne9f4k7 Bestiary: Bugge]</ref><ref name=Baz>“For your talents.  As a scrivener, you work with fancies, mimeisthais, bugges, buggane, and a variety of Others who confound and poison ''information''.”<br>[...]<br>If a ''Bugge'' was a bug in the system, in addition to its middle-English meaning, a glyph or little piece of story reinforced by a chorus of voices independently reinforcing it, then a ''Buggane'' was the advanced type.  Buggane latched onto independently reinforced stories, conspiracies, and warnings, and they came out bigger and fiercer, with more of an agenda, and very often a mounting deadline.<br><br>When a Bugge got strong, it could rewrite and capture an entire area.  A slice of city or a town that was painted in slightly ''off'' colors, where the sunsets lingered too long, or where it rained incessantly.  Reality warped, innocents warped with it, it had more of those innocents to spread the story of the Bugge, and the loop continued until broken.  Most Bugge were often dumb, distractable, or self-defeating, and the one in a thousand that wasn’t was a problem for someone like Basil or his family to deal with.  Or for Hugh Legendre, the sealer, who would do a worse job but probably manage something in the end.<br><br>When a ''Buggane'' got strong, it could create a self-fulfilling prophecy, which in turn validated everyone involved and brought others on board, and often led straight into a subsequent prophecy and a second impending doom.  They weren’t distractable or stupid.  They were focused and fierce. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/10/26 Excerpt] from [[Fall Out 14.z]]</ref>
