From Corben's comic book introductory tale to the poem on the back cover, this older edition of the Uktena Tribebook was what I was in the mood for.
I can't guarantee that my tastes will match yours, but personally, I've used this rulebook as a muse and a tone-setter for drawings and fiction more than a couple of times. There's something about the Uktena's mysteriousness which makes them more intriguing than the usual more-dots-make-Hulk-madder physiciality of other Garou tribes.
No spoilers, but one aspect of World of Darkness rulebooks I've long enjoyed is how often each tribe/clan/tradition has a secret that they would greatly prefer to remain a secret. Moreso when those secrets make sense within the rules and within the setting. Subjectively, the secret held by the Uktena was worth reading.
