KaguneA Kagune is composed of Rc cells, can be described as “liquid muscles.” They flow just like blood but can become solid as bone. The Kagune functions as a ghoul’s predatory organ, like a weapon or claws. When the Rc cells are released, the ghoul’s physique, resilience, and mobility is strengthened. At will, the Kagune can be repeatedly hardened and softened. Although a ghoul’s healing ability is high, wounds inflicted by a Kagune will take longer to heal.
UkakuThe Ukaku Kagune is released from the shoulder area, and have the characteristic appearance of feathers. They are light weight and deliver high speed attacks. Ukaku Kagune are suited for short-distance and long-distance attacks, giving a higher chance of ending a battle in a shorter amount of time. Releasing the Rc cells cause an extreme decrease in stamina. Therefore, Ukaku-types are at a disadvantage when a battle drags on due to their lack of endurance.

+ Suited for short range and long distance attacks
+ Higher chance of ending a battle in a shorter time period
Weaknesses:
- Experience an extreme decrease in stamina when Rc cells are released
- Lack endurance
