Inscryption Wiki

Traits are effects that are exclusive to a card. Though they are similar to Sigils, they cannot be transferred to other cards. Trait names in this page are based on what they're called in game files. Traits are often confused with Special Card Behaviours, but unlike Special Card Behaviours, which have own code and are usually unique for a single card, Traits only serve as markers for other code, and usually apply to multiple cards.

Game also has some unused/cut Traits that are not listed in the table: EatsWarrens/FeedsStoat, LikesHoney/Bear, Wolf, Juvenile, ProtectsCub, Undead, Structure and Blind. These traits do not have any code and therefore do not affect cards in any way. Most of them seem to be remnants of mechanics from Sacrifices Must Be Made, such as Bloated Stoat or Grizzly moving next to Beehive. List of cards with Structure Trait seems to be mostly identical to the Terrain.
