Revision as of 03:10, 3 February 2013

Name: Visceratika
Symbol: Visceratika
Pronunciation:
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. It 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.
