The power to transform into a non-humanoid creature.
Used by Joe Beastly, Created by Murphylaw.
(Your transition from one form to the next is obvious to all observers. While transformed, you are obviously unusual, unnatural, or alien, and the average person will take a special interest in you. )

Joe Beastly transforms into a monstrous ape. Stronger than any other apes in nature. Standing at 8ft tall and upright like a human, this creature is a mountain of matted hair and massive muscles. It's limbs are like massive girthy tree trunks, longer than even Shaq's, and capable of violently pummeling any factory worker or security guards that gets in it's way. It's feet is also distinctively massive, everywhere he steps it is his calling card. Yet despite it's sheer size and power, it is also extremely illusive. Able to slip out at just the right moment to avoid detection and/or capture.

While transformed, you cannot use any equipment (excluding Artifacts and Consumables, which you can use), and you cannot use your Active, Direct, or Trap Powers. However, you can use your Passive Powers. Any equipment you are wearing transforms with you.

Injuries and Wound Level are carried over between forms. However, transforming can never kill you; you merely remain Incapacitated until your Injuries are sufficiently healed.

While transformed, you are obviously unusual, unnatural, or alien, and the average person will take a special interest in you.
