Animal Arms/Legs

Capabilities[]

The user can transform one or more of their limbs into those of various animals, gaining the unique physical traits and abilities associated with each creature. This transformation is not limited to a single species; the user can selectively shift their arms, legs, or even additional appendages into the limbs of different animals, depending on the situation. For instance, they might grow the talons and wings of an eagle for flight and aerial attacks, replace their legs with the muscular hind limbs of a kangaroo for powerful jumps, or morph their arms into the powerful forelimbs of a gorilla for immense strength and grappling ability.

Each transformation grants the user not only the physical shape of the animal limb but also its proportionate strength, speed, flexibility, or other traits. A user's tiger paws retain retractable claws and enhanced reflexes, while the tentacles of an octopus would allow for extended reach and powerful suction grip. The changes are typically limited to limbs, so the user maintains a mostly human form, although some advanced users may exhibit minor physical adaptations, such as fur, feathers, or scales appearing on their transformed parts.

However, the user’s ability extends beyond mere limb mimicry. They are not limited to replicating only the arms or legs of animals but can reshape their limbs into any functional body part found in the animal world. An arm could elongate and transform into the neck and head of a Tyrannosaurus rex, capable of biting and roaring with predatory force, while the other could simultaneously become the fin of a shark, useful for swift underwater movement or slashing strikes. Legs might morph into the stinger of a scorpion or the tentacles of a squid, allowing for grappling, propulsion, or toxic attacks. Even non-standard anatomy—like the electric organs of an eel or the sonar-emitting head of a bat—can be manifested if adapted into a limb.

Each transformation retains the functional biology and traits of the original animal part. A cobra head used as an arm can hiss, see, and deliver venomous strikes. An elephant’s trunk can grasp with surprising dexterity, while a spider’s legs can be used to scale vertical surfaces or weave silk. These body parts are fully operational, meaning that even complex organs such as eyes, jaws, and sensory feelers can offer the user temporary access to animal instincts and senses, blending utility with combat potential.

This power makes the user a living chimera, constantly able to reinvent their physical form mid-action. In battle, they might strike with a bear's paw, block with a tortoise shell, and then launch themselves skyward with falcon wings—all in seamless transition. Out of combat, the user can adopt useful adaptations like gills for underwater breathing, bat ears for echolocation, or insect legs for high-speed traversal.
