Visceratika

Visceratika
Pronounce	VIS-ur-raht-ih-ka
Bloodlines	Gargoyles

The Discipline of Visceratika is the exclusive possession of the Gargoyle bloodline and is an extension of their natural affinity for stone, earth, and things made thereof.

Overview

Visceratika features shapeshifting abilities similar to those of Protean, though with a greater emphasis on defense.

While it is possible for other Cainites to learn Visceratika, the Gargoyles are unwilling to share such a valuable survival tool.
