* TheAgeless: Claymores do not age past physical maturity. [[spoiler:It appears that the source material for the Claymores, the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Asarakam]], can simply live for 200 years and pass this off on their 'descendants'. They do not appear to age during this time period.]]
* {{BFS}}: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Note the title]]. Miria notes the swords are [[ThunderboltIron made of unknown metals]] and too large and heavy to be forged for killing Yoma. They were actually created with the intent of slaying [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Asarakam]].

* EyeColorChange: The eyes of a Claymore are silver until they use their Yoma powers; this turns their eyes gold.
* GuttedLikeAFish: Their bodies are slashed open from the private parts up to the throat in order for them to be infused with Yoma flesh and blood, then stitched back together because that particular wound will never heal.

* MoralEventHorizon: The act for a Claymore from which there's no turning back from, is Awakening and eating someone's guts. When an awakened Miata was out of control with hunger, she harpooned a pair of soldiers to eat. To prevent her from falling into the moral abyss, Claymores attacked her to rescue the soldiers while Clarice gave her life to restore her self-control.
* MysticalWhiteHair: As {{Half Human Hybrid}}s, they all have a "discolored" look: pale skin, grey eyes and white hair, although the whiteness of the hair depend of their original hair color and the success of the implantation.
* NightmareFace: Drawing on 30% of their Yoma power gives them [[TaintedVeins prominent facial veins]] and [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily shark-like teeth]].
* NoSell: Harsh climates have no effect on them, besides her coloured hair Clarice is also defective in that she doesn't have this resistance. Additionally alcohol (and possibly other toxins) can be resisted if a Claymore uses their Youma power, eventually this leads to a DrinkingContest at the end of the series where Claymores suppress this.
* AnOddPlaceToSleep: Claymores are trained to sleep by planting their swords into the ground and leaning against it. In fact it was shown that they are so accustomed to this that they have problems sleeping in regular beds.
* PowerDyesYourHair: Being infused with Yoma power bleaches a Claymore's hair, turning it platinum blonde or white.
* PowerLevels: Drawing on a 10% of their [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Yoki]] gives them [[SupernaturalGoldEyes golden irises]] with [[HellishPupils cat-like pupils]]; drawing on 30% gives them [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily shark-like teeth]], [[TaintedVeins prominent facial veins]], and [[PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep a deep voice]]; drawing on 50% causes them to [[HulkingOut bulk up significantly]], 70% is supposed to be the limit of how much power they can safely use, and drawing on more than 80% turns them into [[OneWingedAngel Awakened Beings]].
* ThePowerOfHate: According to [[MadScientist Dae]], the stronger a person's hatred towards Yoma and themself the more powerful a Claymore they become.
* PowerEchoes: When they draw on their Yoma powers in the English dub their voices echo.
* PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: Claymores suffer from this if they draw more of their powers. This can be seen in original and dub.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Drawing on their Yoma powers increasingly risks causing them to [[OneWingedAngel Awaken]], and if they deliberately draw on more than 80% of their powers they will lose control.
