* [[The Seraph]]:Paranoid. Loud. Fearful. Conceals itself in shadows, hides behind its creations. It's denial of self is crippling to its growth, furthered by its parasitization of others. This one is young, and might yet be saved, though never to the heights it could have reached. Mediocre host, but could yet be ''more''.* [[Flint-and-Steel]]:Compatriot(-in-perfidy)? This one reminds of the old days, of blood spilled on the alter and howling at the moon. Understands the value of sacrifice, but remains a reminder of the time ''before'', a preacher of innovation seen in archaic light. Claims to know the value of sacrifice, but does it understand the value of what is ''sacrificed''? ...Potential host, though its immaterial form poses difficulties. Will continue observation.* [[Our Lady Betrayed]]:A Maryr! How admirable. Fertilizer for the growth of others is a lowly task, and one deserving of more respect than it receives. Unsuitable host, but one worth respect.

* [[The Worm Funktastic]]: Befuddled annoyance. The Maw is a primitive hour, and has little understanding of music or any variety of art. What it ''does'' understand is that not all of its murderers die in the forest, that some vanish to the tune of a saxophone in the night. Mediocre host.

* [[The Rotted Ox]]: Revulsion. The Maw understands the value of endings, but sees them as the foundation for new beginnings. A pause in song, a rest between hunts. The Rotted Ox's dedication to the end is a repulsive aberration to be denied. Mediocre host.

* [[The More-Opened]]:Oddity. Its travels are peculiar, its relations with the deceased ''concerning''. ??? host.* [[The Unending Worm]]:Admirable in ambition, peculiar though it is. Satisfactory host.* [[The Clavier]]:Parasite. A stern reminder of why the Maw seeks to keep Hour presence in the histories to a minimum. Stunts growth, spoils potential rotten. Unworthy host.
