Lore
When one thinks of witches, one typically associates them with black cats, magic cauldrons, and flying brooms. However, the Bathories of the Clock Tower are clearly different from the witches of rumor. They don't have black cats or cauldrons, and merely fly around on their brooms all year long in search of fresh blood to nourish themselves. Also, unreliable sources indicate that Bathories are afraid of the dust-born Punks. I wonder why? Ah... Achoo! A Bathory lets out a loud sneeze while riding her broom and wipes at her nose in disgust. That looks a lot like an allergy.
