The freakish Flesh Shintai is believed to have its roots in the jungles of the Golden Courts, although it has spread throughout the Middle Kingdom. As the Wood element analog, the Flesh Shintai allows a Kuei-jin to channel Yang energy through the medium of her corpse in order to augment and transform it. The Penangallan excel at the use of this Discipline and it is a prerequisite to join them. Its tainted counterpart is the Disease Shintai.
