Capabilities
The user can use/imitate animal powers. Users 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, and so on.

 * Cnidarian Physiology
 * Crustacean Physiology
 * Echinoderm Physiology
 * Fish Physiology
 * Gastropoda Physiology
 * Human Physiology; For non-humans with this ability
 * Insect Physiology
 * Mammalian 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.

Associations

 * Animal Manipulation

Limitations

 * May be limited to mimicking only the animals they have observed.
