The enormous claw that sat on CARNiFEX’s thumb on her forepaws meant her prey stood little chance once captured. Using the claw as a blade, she enacts her Disembowel power to access the tasty insides of her food.

SLICE:

Because his prey was likely large, hardy creatures, CARNiFEX has a special slicing tooth on the inside of his cheek. His Slice power uses this tooth to carve up tough meat.

VENOM:

CARNiFEX automatically loses a Clash to any Venom species.
