Teratothrope

An unusual form of Monster possessing more human-like characteristics than most, Teratothropes are Monsters that are capable of transforming between a distinct human form and that of a Monster. Much like Therianthropes and Entothropes, Teratothropes can afflict others with their conditions and often possess a range of different forms, the ability to influence other, similar creatures to their Monstrous aspect, and particular resistance to harm. Unlike most other Monsters, but similar to other "thrope" types, they normally mature at the same rate as their apparent human form.
Teratothropes are less common than many other Monsters and often have unusual origins, including in some situations in which an individual began the process of becoming a Sineater and was later infected with highly compatible Taint, resulting in a hybrid transformation, the side-effects of spiritual possession by a Monster, certain powerful curses or afflictions, mutations of the diseases that often cause other "thropy" afflictions, injury by a Monster under the right conditions, and a range of other possible causes. Despite the variety of sources of this affliction, it is still quite rare and rarely passed on, except through descent. Some Teratomorphs are the result of Therianthropes or Entothropes conceiving children with other Monsters, resulting in offspring with hybrid forms, multiple Monster forms, or both.
