*'''Antediluvian - Ennoia''' - Allegedly the same woman who started the Lupine (werewolf) race, [[Werewolf: The Apocalypse|a idea that cannot be farther from the truth.]]
*'''Signature Discipline - Protean''' (Shapeshifters)
*'''Sect -''' All sects have a lot of Gangrel members, with a good chunk of Gangrel being Autarkis. Camarilla members are getting rarer each night, though.
*'''Clan Weakness:''' After every Frenzy, they gain animalistic features. This curse first manifests itself as bestial behavior, then moves on to beastly appendages portruding out of the Vampire's flesh. This makes Masquerade harder to maintain, of course.
Nature vampires, with many shapeshifting/animal control powers. Want to talk to that bird who saw something? Go ahead. Summon wolves to tear some dude's jugular? Knock yourself out. Doesn't sound like much, but animals normally hate and fear Kindred, because they can sense they are undead monstrosities, except Gangrel. Chillaxing with [[your dudes]] is pretty neat, especially when they warn you and fight for you. 

Despite living in the wilderness frequently (but also cities, after all, it's an ''urban jungle'', right?) and generally being homeless they are not hippie types. These guys are like the other version of Nature, the one that features a cute baby seal pup being torn in half by two killer whales fighting over the meat. Though they ''can'' be hippy types too, so don't let that stop you if you want to roll a hippy vampire, but remember that only neonates prefer to become hippies, because their elders were the barbarians that despoiled myriad civilizations like Sumer, Egypt, and Rome through the countless millenias. Those elders were the Mongols, they were the Gauls, they were the Norsemen, they were the Huns, and so on. 

The Migration Period was heaven for them, for those elders wanted to ravage civilization ever since the concept appeared. 

The curse of Gangrel is, they eventually become furries, either to their delight, or to their despair. Unlike popular belief, in modern nights, every six Gangrel out of ten live by the code of [[HFY]], while the other four, generally antitribu, enjoy becoming [[Furry|furries]]. Ironically, the best scholar in modern nights is also a Gangrel named Beckett who literally experiments with himself like running under sunlight to see how he fits in nature and hypothesizes on vampirism such as being a relict evolutionary offshoot of humanity in form of a predatory species.

They are bitter eternal enemies of the Ravnos clan for several reasons. Disregarding all the myths aside that came before this event regarding their progenitors, one of those reasons was the poaching of Rroma tribes, and another one, is this event: a Lithuanian Gangrel elder named Intam, found something that ''might'' have cured all vampires from their curse, something that could have reverted them back to mortals. It might have been successful actually, or not. This was important for Gangrel, as they, with quite a lot of exceptions, despised their animalistic features, because these features caused their humanity to usually degenerate quicker than a normal vampire, and eventually become the thralls of the Beast. Sure, you can pick a Road/Path, but it won't be like Humanity. Some Ravnos assholes overheard it, and decided to stop this elder, because Ravnos glorify their undead state, and despise anyone who wants to return to mortality or transcend their undead nature. As you can guess, they killed Intam. When Gangrel overheard that their chance at salvation was taken away, they went [[RAGE|batshit insane]], and immediately started to [[RIP AND TEAR]] all Ravnos they could get their hands on. 

Gangrel Antitribu are, as you might expect, even less attuned to their humanity, animals in all but name really. Gangrels have also a shitload of bloodlines due to inherent mutability of their vitae. One of them makes their homes underwater, and they look like the residents of [[Cthulhu Mythos|Innsmouth]]. They have a mutual respect with the Nosferatu, due to the fact that both of the clans are inherently monstrous. Some legends of the Gangrel and Nosferatu say Ennoia and Absimilard often hunted together. Except unlike Absimilard, Ennoia doesn't hate her descendants explicitly, she just doesn't care anymore.
