A trait stemming from the Eboncrow bloodline.

Odorless and more immediately fatal compared to its bolstering-blood frenzying cousin. Eboncrows are able to control the dose that is distributed to their victims.

In small amounts, dizziness, nausea and confusion and thrashing are common symptoms that may not necessarily lead to death but certainly extreme discomfort. Larger quantities can overstimulate the heart and lead to a quick death in a matter of minutes.

Outwardly, it appears similar to a strong venom, but make no mistake that it is a bloodborne disease that can quickly spread to infect others that have made contact with it. It is important to note that Effluvial Crows are immune to their disease, but the inverse is not true. It is delivered via a puncture from their claws.

It can be used in conjunction as a “combo ability” with the Lesser Eboncrow’s (peacock) strain to prevent the victim from succumbing to death when afflicted by their contagion. Between the two, this helps to ensure that there are far more useful hostages than there would be silent corpses.

An Albino Crow trait that acts in conjunction with the [Scarlet Brand] viral ability known to this variant. It allows the Albino Crow to influence their “marked” by releasing different varieties of pheromones.

Albino Effluvial Crows can only emit one type of pheromone at a time, but their reign is generally absolute over their marked victims. These pheromones can both be used as defensive or offensive measures.

Albino Lesser Crows can emit multiple types of pheromones and issue more complex, and perhaps even subtle commands. But it generally only really works well on the Beastclan and familiar type creatures.

An Albino Crow latent perk. Aiming comes intuitively to them. They know where to strike and when. Of course, practice does help to make sure the hits land and nothing hits them in return; but they are otherwise instinctively guided to their opponent’s weaknesses and only limited by the extent of their physical abilities.

Once that barrier has been removed, however...

An Albino Crow latent perk. The individual is able to size up others--be it dragon or beast--in a predatory manner as to how best to make use of them. They can understand the potential of others and how they might best fit in a grand design somewhere.
