All Ventrax are attuned to a shared psychic link when in physical proximity to others of their kind. This manifests as a common shared thought-space, wherein any Ventrax in the link can project thoughts and emotions to the rest of the members.

Ventrax have a natural affinity for the psionic paths of Bonding, Cloaking, Lacuna, Nulling, Psyche, Sensing, and Telekinesis.
