Shape shifters

Shape shifters are a less common species to find as they tend to be highly territorial and prefer to be secluded from most other creatures.

Their true form though they rarely take it on is that of a humanoid shape that appears to made entirely of tar. However it is actually black blood.

Shape shifters are black blooded creatures with no internal organs. They do not require food however they do need a constant supply of water because if they get dehydrated they basically turn to dust.

Shape shifters have the ability to mimic or take on the shape of any living thing they have seen before. This includes plants too. They have poor eyesight but make up for it with an extremely sensitive sense of smell. They average lifespan of a shape shifter is between 100-400 years but can be longer or shorter depending on the temperature of the environment they are in. They do better in slightly cooler areas but if they get too cold they can freeze. To be frozen is not equivalent to death as once they warm up they will be fine once more. Freezing simply outs them in a state of paralysis.
