+Regardless of the trigger, an Outburst can shake a Leviathan's self-control, reminding him of the ways in which he is subject to the vicissitudes of fate.

== Transformation ==
The key to the power of the Tribe is their assumption of hybrid forms, shedding the eons that separate them from their Progenitor to take on monstrous shapes of considerable power. By expending Ichor, the Leviathan can assume these forms, which vary from a moderate departure from the human norm to colossal, warped shapes that hint at the bizarre life forms of the Primordial Seas.

When wishing to transform to a different form, the Leviathan must first decide which form they wish to achieve - the number of steps that seperate his current and desired form determines the cost and difficulty of the transformation. Depending on circumstances, a Leviathan's Tranquility will affect this roll.

* '''Cost''': One Ichor per degree of change
* '''Dice Pool''': Stamina + Sheol - degree of change
* '''Action''': Instant
