Fang and Talon

The Contracts of Fang and Talon are a set of changeling abilities found in Changeling: The Lost. It is associated with and used by the Beasts.

Similar to the contracts of Elements, contracts of Fang and Talon are purchased separately, each attuned to one type of animal. Canines, fish, and even predatory birds are possible choices. A changeling can choose to attune to a certain species, like wolves, or as wide as a general family, such as canines, but not a category so broad as carnivora or mammals.

Increasing any Contract of Fang and Talon does not increase the others with it, but the Beasts' Seeming affinity applies and reduces the costs of new Fang and Talon contracts and abilities by half.

Abilities

• Tongues of Birds and Words of Wolves - A changeling gives an animal a new name, allowing them to communicate with it and other animals in their contract-type.
• Beast's Keen Senses - If the changeling touches an animal-type of their contract, they acquire the senses of that animal.
• Pipes of the Beastcaller - If the changeling has asked an animal to guard their dwelling, they may call on that animal at any time or place.
• Tread of the Swift Hooves - After touching an animal of the right kind, they may emulate that animal's form of movement.
• Cloak of the Bear's Massive Form - If they are in the correct habitat and touching an animal, they may take that animal's form.
