This Druid possesses a unique and primal connection to nature: they can only transform into animals whose flesh they have consumed. Each time they partake in the meat of a creature, they absorb its essence, gaining the ability to shift into that animal form. The deeper the bond with the creature's spirit, the more adept they become in that form. This restriction forces them to carefully consider what they consume, as their powers are directly tied to the circle of life, survival, and their personal choices in the wild.
