Ultimate Predator Everything it needs to track and hunt.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Stronger Together
Pringles and his Passenger are learning to co-operate more after spending a long time working together in the forest while hunted by the foundation and various monsters. The Passenger uses carefully placed tears in reality, small enough that they can't be seen or felt by others, to help triangulate sound and even expand Pringles' normal vision.
For now, it takes actively attempting to do so for this to function properly.

Urvela's Piercing Acumen
The Thousand-Eyed Huntress' Blessing
Maddie’s pact with Urvela, the Thousand-Eyed Huntress, grants her heightened sensory powers. As a spirit tied to hunting and uncovering secrets, Urvela enhances all of Maddie’s senses—sight, sound, touch, smell, and instinct—allowing her to perceive things hidden from ordinary eyes. This constant, sharp awareness lets Maddie detect hidden dangers, track elusive prey, and unveil concealed truths. However, prolonged use leaves her irritable and mentally strained, as the unrelenting flow of information weighs on her mind.
