Shapeshifter - Alien Ancestry

Born from the abnormal creatures from beyond the veil, Shapeshifters with Alien Ancestry are known to transform into the strange and terrifying creatures of the unnatural. As you learn more about your Alien Ancestry, you begin to learn about the terrifying and peculiar powers that the forms of Aberrations have to offer.

Often thought to be the product of experimentation, Alien Ancestry Shapeshifters find themselves transforming into creatures from worlds or planes beyond. It is thought that the first Shapeshifter to take the form of an Aberration was abducted by Illithids and experimented upon - only to take their forms to free themselves. Whatever the situation might be, the forms of Aberrations are strange and powerful, making the Shapeshifter unlike any other.
