Magic Skin
Selkies can shed or don their seal skin to change between humanoid and aquatic form. It takes one minute to switch between forms. In order to return to seal form you must have your skin - without it, you are stuck in humanoid form. You cannot wear armor under your skin but small trinkets like necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. can be kept on. You only benefit from the items that you are wearing on your body while in seal form. Your humanoid physical stats are replaced by specific stats for your seal form. Your skin takes up 2 square feet of space when folded.

Due to the nature of your shapeshifting you are immune to spells which would change your form (excluding invisibility). You are still susceptible to illusions.
Creature of Legend
Your creature type is Fey. If you are being sought by magical means you appear as fey, not humanoid.
