This little guide should be used as a reference for auras and should be updated whenever a new one is found. Note that in rare cases more than one aura might appear on the same monster. If you see this, run!
Known Auras:
Red - A solid red aura surrounds a ghoul or blood slave, usually a human in service to a vamp.
Red with pulsing veins of black - This aura surrounds the vampires themselves. The "veins" pulse faster when the vamp is angry.
Green - A shapechanger. We originally thought these were werewolves, but we've seen them turn into all sorts of crazy shit in the time we've been studying them. DO NOT ENGAGE!
Gold - Gold auras surround things that older hunters call Nightmares, and some of the newer ones call goblins. Not sold on this one being accurate, but I'll post it just in case.
Wispy White - This sort of smoky aura usually surrounds a ghost. You can normally identify a ghost without the aura, but this comes in handy when they're possessing a body.
Muddy Brown - These auras surround some of the rots and shamblers, although sometimes the walking dead have a ghost's aura. Needs to be researched more.
Purple - A purple aura surrounds a Warlock. Be very careful and try to avoid contact if at all possible. I'd drop illumination if you see purple.
Unknown Auras:
Solid Black - I heard somebody down in Mexico saw one of these things right before some big local massacre. Not confirmed, but be on the lookout.
Green with swirling black patterns - This was a weird one. We had a few reports of shapechangers with muddy auras. One theory is that these things might be werewolf/vampire half-breeds (and I hope not), but since they were seen during the daytime I'm not convinced we're not looking at something else.
