The ability to transform into any animal via physical contact. This requires the user to acquire the animal's DNA by touching them for a few seconds. From then on, that animal DNA is stored in the user's genetic memory allowing them to take the form of that exact animal at any time. The user can only maintain their animal appearance for a total of two hours before the effects become permanent.
