Effect

The Kindred can create Ghouls out of animals. Any animal, beyond insects, can be used. The animal needs to be fed as commonly as a mortal would and can understand its master even if they do not possess Feral Speech (although more complex commands can become harder to interpret). The animal Ghoul is just as durable as a human Ghoul; however, it can never inherit any of its masters’ powers (unless another power specifically counters this).
