Transformations

Explanation of Concept
The people of Seeden Prime are capable of odd transformations via various afflictions and genetics.

Types of Transformations

 * Were-Beasts
 * Vampiric
 * Skinchangers
 * miscellaneous

Were-Beasts
Were-Beasts are self explanatory. Everyone's heard of werewolves, and all the others are the same things, but different animals.

They include:
 * Werewolves
 * Were-bears
 * Were-eagles
 * Were-sharks
 * Were-spiders
 * Were-lions
 * Were-tigers
 * Were-bats
 * Were-rhinos
 * Were-buffalo
 * Were-dragons (although this has not been seen anytime recently, 2156-3180, or otherwise. Has only been cataloged in ancient bestiaries.)
 * Were-hedgehogs
 * Were-owls (these are not natural occurrences)

Vampiric Transformations
Vampires, starting at Pure Bloods, are capable of transforming into a bat. Night Walkers and onward can change into a Were-bat like creature that's more bat than man. Vampires that are classed as Royal can become a Royal Vampire.

The Royal Vampire has longer limbs that end in long clawed fingers, tattered bat wings sprout from the shoulder blades, horns sprout from the forehead that can curve in various directions as they age, and the area around the eyes are cracked, revealing black, flaky skin. Blood drips from this part of the face, they seemingly cry blood. The transformation is apparently incredibly painful, as well as that it ruins the mind of the victim until they revert. Royal Vampires are homicidal and will kill for pleasure, they have a tendency for raising victims as Half-Blood or Fledgling Vampires.

Skinchangers
Skinchangers change directly into an animal, without alterations. They are still in their right mind, but cannot communicate, as they are an animal.

Miscellaneous Transformations
There are other transformations that aren't under the above categories. Notably Iveri Sovala, who can shift into a black phoenix, or into a black tiger with stripes of fire. It is not known why she's able to do this, but it may be because she's half Klise.

Liches can utilize magic to look more human.

Certain characters can switch between a demonic and human form.

Some characters from the Creepaguy series can change into a living shadow demon.

Creepaguy can turn into a goat demon.
