Description
Although they can't freely shapeshift without special abilities, Kitvoren have the potential to change to a few pre-coded alternate forms! This, like most of their powers, comes as a result of the radioactive energy in their body as well as the snippets of human DNA in their genetics. With enough practice any Kitvoren can manipulate its own body and radiation to take these forms, essentially triggering a series of quick mutations. The most skilled of the species can cause these changes instantly.

The purpose of this ability is thought to have been the Creator's way of sending Kitvoren on stealth missions disguised as a normal human, but they were never able to perfect the transformation.

1. Standard form:
This is the default form a Kitvoren takes. In this form they can access their full power since none of it is being redirected to maintain a different form. While mainly quadruped, they are able to walk upright (though it's a bit difficult and looks a bit silly due to their short back legs)

2. Anthro form: (I'll re-add an anthro visual later ;v; sorry)
The easiest transformation, Kitvoren operate at almost the same power level as normal when in this form and can hold their own in a fight against standard forms. The main purpose is to elongate the hind legs so the Kitvoren can get around easier in an upright posture, but is often used simply as a preference.

3. Halfling form:
Unknown for several decades, this form is often taken by accident, occurring when a Kitvoren tries to enter a full human form. Their neck shortens, their skull becomes more human-like in shape, they lose fur in some places (keeping it mainly in the neck/shoulders and leg areas), and gain a nose-like structure on their face (though it is purely cosmetic). Often times their torso and arms have no fur at all. Some features like tails may also not appear- it seems to be up to the Kitvoren. The retractable spikes are still present though, just smaller on the neck. Take caution, however, as this form renders the Kitvoren's strength to about half due to the energy it takes to maintain; this leaves them much more vulnerable, though still far more powerful than an average human.

4. Kitvohumans:
Human forms are exactly what they sound like, though with a few immediate differences- the sharp teeth and blackened eyes or eye sockets will always appear on a Kitvohuman. All other traits are optional and up to the Kitvoren's choice, depending on how similar they want to be to a normal human body. However, these traits will sometimes appear unexpectedly when the Kitvoren experiences intense emotions. Kitvohumans are the weakest form a Kitvoren can take because of how many alterations to its body are required. This makes them only about 3x the strength of a normal human, and gives them no chance in a fight against any other form of Kitvoren. They often need to revert back to standard form while they sleep to recharge themselves.

Other notes:
- Mutations will always appear on standard and anthro forms.
- Mutations on halflings or Kitvohumans might not appear due to the Kitvo's choice, but could appear when they experience intense emotions.
- The eyes of halflings and Kitvohumans might produce a very very faint pupil, but will otherwise reflect their normal colour.
