An invisible force surrounds him, unseen and unnoticed by all but a supernatural eye is a monstrous beast with a long snake-like body. Adorned with long sharp claws and gnashing teeth it is aggressive in protecting its host and lashes out when threatened, attacking with deep claw marks, bites, or bruises. Like any beast, it fears the flames of man.
The monster Cazarith is shaped like a long-furred body animal, similar to that of a weasel of some kind. Stretching to be around 8 feet long ending with two short legs on one end and a head on the other, its paws are long sharp claws that can easily hook into and slash at prey while its teeth are needle-like and painfully sharp. The beast has a tan coloration to it with white going along the belly, eyes of shimmering gold, and inspects anything that comes close as it wraps its long snake-like body around Ricter and has no interest in moving much.
Interestingly enough, no one can see it, touch or, or even feel it- until it's threatened. Not even the person who it's wrapped around can do so. The only time you know it's there is when someone attempts to bring harm to its host, in which it will attack with its claws or teeth, aiming to blunt the damage somewhat but also return the favor so to speak. The counterattack feels very real, and those who do so will simply feel small cuts, slashes, or bites along their body.
Anyone with with heightened senses can tell something is around him, those who investigate with supernatural abilities further will notice a hazy outline of something. The monster does not give off an evil aura, more neutral, at the same time it doesn't look to harm the person it's wrapped around either. Yet they do not speak and act more like a feral beast with a hint of intelligence. However, when his host is damaged they work to stop the bleeding in some way, using its wind powers to seal cuts closed.
It has a deep weakness for fire, causing it to writhe in pain and shutter, backing away from it when possible and tucking behind its host when it sees an open flame.

All it takes is a little blood for a Kindred to survive, if not thrive, indefinitely. Incredibly hardy and no longer needing niceties like "Air" and "food or water," the only weakness of the kindred is its infuriating need to rest during the day so that it may hunt during the night. Yet, even that is not so bad, for without dreams of a darker tomorrow, how would one be inspired to make things worse?
