Creatures with Shape-Shifters

Shape shifters alter form to cross boundaries of kin, species, and place. They move between animal and human, mist and shadow, river and shore, or adopt borrowed skins and masks. Typical roles include scout and spy, guardian of paths, tester of vows, seducer, and teacher who reveals hidden rules. Symbols include discarded pelts, mirrored water, footprints that change size, double tracks at fords, and garments that must not be touched. Entries note triggers and limits such as moon phase, river crossing, music, or true names spoken aloud.
