Literature

"In groups big enough for me to get full coverage of the area, my swarms took turns roving over my surroundings. They couldn’t pass through closed doors, but they gave me a sense of my surroundings that my eyes couldn’t. The results were almost the inverse of what I might expect from my eyesight. There was no grasp of color, beyond what I could guess from the various clues I got from my other senses, but I had a keen sense of textures. Where my eyes would have been capable of focusing on one thing at a time, my swarm-sense gave me the ability to pull together complete mental pictures from a thousand different points of focus. I could ignore line of sight, sensing around objects, and even though my bugs’ senses translated poorly, the sum total of their awareness gave me a sense of the little things, in addition to the big picture. I could sense where the air currents were traveling and the force with which they moved, the thickness of the dust in one area versus another, and where temperatures were higher, if even by a fraction."
Skitter, Worm

"While a vampire with Heightened Senses may note a Nosferatu's Unseen Presence, he may have no qualms about speaking freely in front of the alley cat that just skulked in through the window of his haven. This oblivious attitude has made the information networks of many Nosferatu broods frighteningly effective. Even the most paranoid princes can't stop talking every time a rat scurries across the floor or a stray dog camps out on his haven's doorstep."
