All Chulorviah share a few traits in common. They are able to communicate silently with one another regardless of any language barriers through a form of psychic communion similar to the Galliard Gift: Mindspeak. All Chulorviah are fully amphibious, able to survive for unlimited periods above or below the waves, and at any depth. Chulorviah can sense other carriers of the abyssal strain; whenever a Chulorviah sleeps, it awakens with a certain awareness of exactly how many other Chulorviah can be found within 50 miles of its location, where those Kraken-Born are, and what identities they wear, if any.

Finally, all Chulorviah register very powerfully to the Gift: Sense Wyrm. The difficulty to detect a Chulorviah at close range is only 5. The particular sensation they produce when analyzed with the Gift is almost overpowering, like being engulfed in a tide of rot. It’s the kind of aura of corruption one might expect from a Wyrmish Incarna, not a monster little stronger than a fomor. Perhaps each Chulorviah is but a tentacle extruded from some terrible, central mind.
