Perhaps you were born with it, or after being exposed to strange magic, you can shift to the form of your ancestors(Relevant form, e.g. Cat for Tabaxi, Turtle for Tortle, Monkey for Human[RETURN TO MONKE]...).
You may only transform into and out of your ancestral form once per day, twice at the 10th level, and freely at the 20th level.
Armor and other worn equipment/items meld into your ancestral form's skin and still provide AC bonuses, while any magic or legendary item effects may not be used. (This may be changed at DM's discretion.)
You keep your stat block, but cannot use weapons if the creature doesn't have hands. It cannot use spells that require somatic components unless it can be cast as a ritual, thus it must be cast as a ritual. (Exception: If a spell only requires 1 verbal/somatic component, and your ancestral form is capable of it (eg. Verbal: Parrot; Somatic: Monkey, Racoon)), you may cast the spell.
