			The Beast resides within all creatures, from scuttling cockroaches to scabrous rats up through untamed
			wolves and even powerful Kindred elders. Animalism
			allows the vampire to amplify his intensely primordial
			nature. He can not only communicate with animals,
			but can also force his will upon them, directing such
			beasts to do as he commands. As the vampire grows in
			power, he can even control the Beast within mortals
			and other supernaturals.

			Beasts grow distinctly agitated in the presence of a
			vampire who lacks this Discipline or the Skill of Animal Ken, often to the point of attacking or running
			from the vampire. In contrast, vampires possessing
			Animalism exude a dominant vibe to lower creatures,
			which attracts them.

			Animalism is commonly found with vampires of the
			Gangrel and Nosferatu Clans. Manipulation and Charisma are important for the use of Animalism powers;
			the stronger the vampire’s personality, the more influence he has over animals.

			This power is the basis from which all other Animalism abilities grow. The vampire creates an empathic
			connection with a beast, thereby allowing him to communicate or issue simple commands. The Kindred locks
			eyes with the animal, transmitting his desires through
			sheer force of will. Although it isn’t necessary to actually “speak” in chirps, hisses, or barks, some vampires
			find that doing so helps strengthen the connection
			with the animal. Eye contact must be maintained the
			entire time; if it’s broken, the Kindred must re-establish contact to continue communication.
