The ability to switch or shift from one species to another. Variation of Shapeshifting.
Capabilities
User can switch from one species to another, as well as shift from one species-based power to another. In some cases the users have inherent DNA of specific species which can be drastically different from one another and can easily shift from one to the next. The user can also become human to avoid notice, and then shift to another species in times of need.
Applications
- Users may gain more control over abilities that need higher concentration, being able to switch to a safer ability if hard to turn off.
- Users may be several species and display those powers at the same time after learning how to master the skill.
- Can blend in to any group and avoid detection.

Limitations
