These small, weasel-like creatures are the apex predators within urban environments. Capable of killing and eating everything from cockroaches to dogs, and occasionally humans, snipes have evolved to live in the shadows of the city. Humans would not tolerate such intelligent and deadly creatures so close to home, so snipes keep their presence amongst the humans a complete and total secret. Being unfortunate enough to come to suspect the existence of snipes is not likely to live very long after. (Adapted from Scott Siggler's "The Great Snipe Hunt".) Instinct: to preserve the secret.

• Kill those that know
• Make "accidents" happen
• Rocks fall... Make use of the environment to trap and kill
• Call in others from the shadows
