The Wild Hunt is a Totem from the United Kingdom.
Background[]
"A dozen hellhounds, some purely wolf, some feral dog, snap and roar and chase their prey. They are the living embodiment of the wrath-driven pack, each beast working in harmony with the others to make sure the prey is downed and each mouth is equally fed. Some say the Wild Hunt is a manifestation of Celtic myth, or Satan's own hellish creation, but behind both interpretations is simply the primal fear that Man has always felt toward any pack of feral, howling canines. It is a single spirit, divided into shards that flicker in and out of existence. The Wild Hunt will work with Uratha only if the werewolves can prove they are a fluid, harmonious pack and extremely skilled on the hunt. This patron relishes fighting alongside its pack, and will do so every time the werewolves battle in the Shadow Realm."
The totem costs 26 points.

Ban: The Wild Hunt demands that its pack spend one night a month running through the Shadow in an aimless, senseless hunt with the totem. The Hunt bypasses all notions of hunting ground borders or territory, and the pack must follow the totem wherever it goes, no matter where it heads or what it encounters. The Wild Hunt is utterly random in its fevered chase, attacking anything that gets in its way from sunset to sunrise. Failure to comply or keep up with the totem results in withdrawal of favor for an entire lunar cycle, and will earn the enmity of some nearby dogs and dog-spirits for this time, as the creatures will have sensed the passing of the Hunt, and many feel bitterness at not being able to join it as well as resentment for those who failed in their chance.
