Seeking to find itself by finding others, this creature masters language and knowledge not by learning - but by absorbing the memories of those whose blood it drains. A solitary hunter, it cannot stand other members of its own specie - most of the time. When it does not possess a shape that it can use to its advantage it will blend into its surroundings to better hunt. It needs to feed to live, but if a place seems 'dry' it can fall into a torpor for years until prey comes along. Instinct: To replace

• Change its shape
• Active camouflage
• Mimic voices
• Use the powers of those it has drained
