Shapeshifting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mavin Manyshaped and her son Peter in Sheri S. Tepper's True Game novels are both shifters, being a subspecies of humans having this power, and in both, the learning of their abilities is a large portion of their growing up. |
 | | Popular shapeshifting creatures in myths and legends are werewolves and vampires (mostly of European, Canadian, and Native American/early American origin), the fox spirits or were-foxes of East Asia (including the kitsune of Japan), and the gods, goddesses, and demons of numerous mythologies, such as Loki from Norse mythology or Proteus from Greek mythology. |
 | | Some animals, particularly octopi, are able to change their body shape and color to mimic other creatures and objects, for camouflage or to hide in narrow spaces. |
