All ranukin have the ability to shape shift! Any average ranuki can learn up to 1 primary transformation in addition to their anthro forms! Other transformations must be learned separately. (Additional transformation slots can be purchased in the group shop.) The body type, traits, design, and age appearance will always carry over between each transformation. Certain races may specialize in transformations that will be easier for them, however they can all transform into anything, provided they put the effort forth to master it. Transformations often take precision and concentration, with the exception of kaijukin, who can transform or partially transform freely into anything they can imagine.

Anthro Forms
Anthro transformations are used just as often as the natural feral forms!
They actually provide an alternate convenience, and are especially used in close villages and communities! Ranukin use their anthro forms as ways of self expression and socialization! They often dress up to express their interests, but it is not necessary and they don't consider "nude" to be awkward or strange in any way, Dressing is a personal choice and primarily used for either convenience, protection, or just self expression. Ranukin will often have a preference of whether they prefer being on 4 legs or 2, however some even rotate between the 2 forms for convenience depending on what they are doing. The wings of anykin will become very small in this form if they choose to have them out, and they will be unable to fly without magical assistance. All ranukin no matter what turn back to their feral forms during deep sleep, as they can only be in a transformation while they are awake and focused on it. |
Kaijukin Transformations
After becoming kaijukin, they become so developed with power, that any transformations are possible, with hardly any practice or concentration, if any. Kaijukin can even partially transform their original forms, which no other ranukin can do.
The kaijukin stage is a nearly unobtainable and prominently undesired stage to accomplish by most ranukin. Kaijukin are ranukin who through rigorous and intense magical training have completely bypassed aging and have ultimately become almost immortal. They no longer age or deteriorate, but could still be killed by severe injury, that is if somekin/something were even able to inflict any damage upon them. Reaching this stage takes unheard of amounts of both physical and mental magical training, and it remains impossible to obtain for most that attempt. When the kaijukin stage takes over, their soul's life force will almost explode with power, and cause surges of magic to emerge from all around the body. The amounts of magical power are endless and they can master almost any transformations, including the ability to partially transform, giving themselves horns, tusks, or any typical or exclusive trait they desire. The power they develop at this stage is almost godlike, and some kaijukin have even won followings of the world's inhabitants and been considered actual gods! However, most who take on this form end up being unable to control their powers, and the overwhelming amounts of magical energy continuously surging through them will drive them mad, which is how most of the world's villainous ranukin are born, and they either become isolated from society or considered demons or monsters overall, hence the title. It takes an extremely skilled and intelligent ranukin to overcome and control the amounts of power within them, The unpredictability of this power leaves this form undesired by most, and hardly anykin ever decide to pursue it, preferring to become elders and pass peacefully as they age.
Because of this, Kaijukin are the sources of most of the world's problems. They are so large and unpredictable, often driven mad, destroying habitats, injuring or killing large amounts of wildlife including other kin in their blind rage. They perform the exact opposite behavior as they had practiced their entire lives, harming the world instead of protecting it. They often require huge teams to battle and defeat them, and then secondary scouting teams that can restore and rehabilitate the destruction they've caused. Unless they are killed in battle, which is extremely difficult and rare, they will heal again and often cause issues elsewhere. Typically, only a level minded kaijukin can really inflict enough damage to kill another kaijukin for good.
