Shapeshifters are very rare across Anarkand. Just how rare they are is unknown, but it's believed there may be as little as 80 left in existence. Shapeshifters are amoral. They don't think in terms of what's good or bad, beneficial or harmful, logical or illogical.

The number one priority above everything else for a shapeshifter, is self-preservation at all costs. They will happily throw others to the wolves if it will keep them alive. Through years of transformation, the bending of essence, and the morphing of their physical form, Shapeshifter reproductive capability ceased to be.

Shapeshifters are excellent crewmates for the abilities they possess, however, these skills and abilities must be learned as they evolve, and any shapeshifter looking to grow and develop into the best version of themselves knows that they must work hard at it.
