There were no Metis Camazotz. Regardless of Breed, allCamazotz began with Rage 1, Gnosis 5, and Willpower 3.• Because all Camazotz were created via a ritual,werebats have no Auspices.• Camazotz suffered the same effects from silver thatwerewolves do. They could also regenerate in the sameway as Garou.• Camazotz could step sideways into the Umbra likethe Garou, but had to be in shadow or darkness to doso. They could not step sideways while in bright lightwithout the Gift: Into the Sun.• Camazotz had especially keen senses. Their difficultyfor all rolls associated with hearing was reducedby –2 in all of their forms. Also, they had sonar in allbut their homid form, allowing them to perceive and actnormally in total darkness.• Camazotz could fly in their Crinos and Megachiropteraforms (as well as in their Swarm form, if theylearned the appropriate Gift).• Camaztoz in either Crinos or Megachiropteraform were at –2 difficulty to all Athletics rolls, includingdodging, while they were flying.FormsCamazotz could assume four different forms (anda fifth swarm form if they learned the Gift: ThousandWings Form). Homid form was a normal human being.Their other three base forms were as follows:• Apterous: The Camazotz near-human form wasa slender human with almost skeletally thin arms andlegs, enlarged ears, and a slightly distorted-looking face.It lacked wings and couldn’t fly, but could climb exceptionallywell and could navigate by sonar. All Athleticsrolls, including dodging, were at –1 difficulty in this form.Modifiers: Dex +2, App –1, Man –1, Per +2• Crinos: The Crinos form of a werebat lookedsomewhat like a bipedal wolf with long legs and arms.While a natural bat’s wings contain their elongatedfinger bones as structural stabilizers, Crinos Camazotzhad clawed hands as well as “wings”: a thin, but strong,membrane stretched between their body and arms, thatextend far enough to let them fly. Although not as swiftas Corax, werebats were considerably more maneuverable.Modifiers: Str +1, Dex +2, Sta +1, App 0, Man–3, Per +3• Megachiroptera: The animal form of a Camazotzwas a large bat around 15 inches long, with a wingspan of5 feet. Camazotz primarily used this form for both rapidmovement and discrete observation. In this form, theyenjoyed a –1 difficulty to Stealth rolls when out of brightlight.
