Arlian Metamorphosis

There are myths from the earlier ages of the arlian race. Tales of their species possessing the ability to change drastically. Most of the race currently believe this change is the form of a giant Arlian, but this couldn't be farther from the truth. Every 1 in 1,000,000 Arlians are capable of metamorphosis, changing themselves while their fellows remain in their races larval form their entire lives. You're one of the lucky ones who's made the change and put your race back on the path of evolutionary superiority. Arlians possessing the Giant Arlian advanced path CAN NOT take this destiny.
