Anthropophagist Monster Physiology

The power to take on the traits of an anthropophagist monster. Variation of Monster Physiology. 
==Also Called==
*Cannibal Monster Physiology
==Capabilities==
Users of this ability are either a member of a cannibalistic monster type or can mimic them. These kinds of creatures vary wildly from region to region but share common traits such as usually having a human origin and often being transformed into their monstrous state due to the curse of prolonged consumption of human meat. This is a world-wide class of monster born out of cannibalism, one of humanity's most deep-rooted taboos, and thus there are innumerable types of cannibalistic monsters from both fiction, folklore and religious beliefs.
While it is common for fiction to deal primarily with human-devouring monsters, technically aliens or similar entities that feed on their own kind and undergo a mutation or cursed state can also fall under this term, though it is normally reserved for former humans who devour the flesh of their former kin.
In folklore, these monsters are embodiments of famine and a warning of the dangers of eating human flesh. In fiction, they often share similar traits, though sometimes the term can simply refer to humans who have undergone such horrific degeneration due to years of cannibalism that they are more monster than man.

*Often feral or deeply impulsive, having either difficulty in controlling their actions or no control whatsoever (note: this varies from individuals, some do not suffer this limitation and have fully embraced what they are).
*Each individual subspecies has their own unique weakness and limitation.
*If the monstrous state is caused by a cursed state users who are immune to curses are highly resistance (if not fully immune) to becoming such things, curse may also be removed (or prevented from spreading) by certain mystics or occult means.
*Monstrous states caused by mutation, viruses or other infections or biological ailments may be countered by beings' resistance to infections or mutations, may also be cured (or prevented from spreading) by extremely advanced medicine or science.
