'...the twisting and insane call of the Whippoorwhill hounded Thoughtful Gaze of the Wendigo as the rocky ground blurred with motion beneath his paws. The Black Spirals were gaining... The crescent moon, the moon of his birth, sliced through the velvet dark of the night sky illuminating the silhouette of a rocky mound ahead. He smiled inwardly... Reaching the mound he turned to face his twisted and baleful pursuers. Growling with pleasure he uttered a single word: 'Chenoo' The light of Luna was suddenly blackened as 3 giant humanoids rose behind Thoughtful Gaze. The Black Spirals knew they were doomed...'

Image
Chenoo are unusual earth elementals, prone to constant conflict among themselves, making the areas they inhabit rumble and crash as they uproot trees for clubs and fling boulders at each other. Despite this they rarely hurt each other and put all differences aside (at least for the meantime) to help Gaia's garou. They appear as vast (15' tall and nearly as broad) crude humanoids of mossy rock, lumbering, with rumbling voices. They only ever take action at the request of, and in the presence of, Gaia's defenders, remaining hidden and unconcerned otherwise.
Habitat
They inhabit rocky outcrops, natural piles and rocks and boulders, and rocky hills throughout the northern states.
Material Correspondences
Stones and soil. They refuse to be bound.
Gift Lore
They can teach all gifts associated with their element.
Taboos
Chenoo must always touch the earth. If they leave the ground, they lose 10 Power per turn.
Attitude
Quarrelsome among themselves, but neutral to others. They will aid Gaia's garou if asked and given chiminage, but only really enjoy the chance to beat up enemies.
Chiminage
Siding with a Chenoo in a quarrel gains its respect but also earns the dislike of the Chenoo you argued against. Keeping their habitat clear is always appreciated, as is promising to leave them alone and not bother them in the future.
