Animal Morphing

The power to **use the abilities of animals**. Technique of Animal Manipulation. Variation of Biomorphing. Not to be confused with Animal Imitation.

## Also Called

* Animal Form/Mimicry/Physiology/Shapeshifting
* Animal Megamorphing/Metamorphosis/Metamorphing
* Animality (*Mortal Kombat*)
* Animorph/Animorphing/Animorphism
* Beast Within (*Bayonetta*)
* Faunal Form/Morphing
* Skinwalker Effect
* Therianthropy
* Zoomorphosis

## Capabilities

The user with this ability either is or can transform into animals, whether partially or completely, as well as use the abilities, traits and appearance/physiology of animals by rearranging their own DNA structure. They are able to transform into animals that exist, alien animals and/or animals that are extinct, such as Dinosaurs.

The user may have this ability from an empty genetic code, allowing them to accept any form from which they have a DNA sample, others may be able to alter their form mentally and change just by seeing and mimicking animal features.

## Applications

* Transform into animals.
* Posses the special abilities of animals.

## Techniques

* Animal Strength - to retain the strength of all animals in human form.
* Animal Swarming

## Limitations

* May have a limited selection of predetermined animal forms to take.
* May require a visual memory or genetic sample of target animal through touch or assimilation.
* Incapable to transform into inanimate objects, or anything else other than animals.
* May take on memories or characteristics of morphed or assimilated animals.
* May not maintain human mentality.
* May not be able to speak in a human language.
* May not be able to combine several animal forms.
* May not be able to morph directly from one animal to another.
* May not be able to completely change one's DNA.
* May be vulnerable to Taming.
* Staying long in specific form may affect users mind/thought processes and/or make it harder to return into original form.
