Adrenal heart

Adrenal heart

A special bioferrite prosthetic that allows a ghoul to saturate its bloodstream with stress hormones and liquid energy. The ghoul will move and attack at incredible speeds for a short amount of time. The prosthetic slightly increases the ghoul's metabolism, causing it to eat more.
Due to the extremely painful nature of the prosthetic, only ghouls can tolerate this enhancement.
