Animalism
When a vampire is Embraced, her soul is burdened with a dark, primal instinct: the Beast. The Beast makes her a predator, driving her to savage acts in order to survive. Some vampires resist their Beasts, while others delight in their new, animalistic nature. By drawing on this feral instinct and predatory drive, a vampire can communicate with and control animals, establishing a mastery over more primitive beasts.
Animalism can be used on birds, mammals, marsupials, and fish. It cannot be used on insects, nor on creatures whose minds are too simple to understand rudimentary communication, such as mollusks or worms.
“Being a predator requires more than physical brutality. True savagery is a state of mind.” — Archon Gates
