Animal Imitation

The power to mimic the abilities, traits, and behavior of animals. Not to be confused with Animal Morphing or Animal Manipulation. May come from being a Chimera.

Also Called

 * Faunal Imitation

Capabilities
The user can use/imitate animal powers, they can run like an ostrich, swing like a monkey, sprint like a cheetah, move like a cat, take the strength of an ant, track like a dog, hide like a turtle, constrict like a snake, etc. They cannot transform into animals, as this power only enables the user to mimic animalistic traits while still in their original form. Some users can mimic multiple animals at once.

 * Anthropomorphic Animal Physiology
 * Animal Soul

 * Sponge Physiology
 * Virus Mimicry
 * Worm Physiology
 * Power Replication; In some extremely rare cases, some animal traits can be used to replicate the abilities or powers of other beings. For some it depends on what type of being, while for others it doesn't matter.
 * Unicellular Mimicry

Associations
