This month I'll be selecting a few samplings of creatures: Poly Forms.
A Ploy Form is a mutant that has been exposed to copious amounts of the genetic soup, because of this their mutation has become unstable. Most Poly Forms are androgynous and have a light pink skin tone.
Poly Forms
These mutants appear humanoid with pink taffy-like skin. Driven by hunger they seek to consume the biomass of dead creatures and add it to their own.

Poly Swarm
Sometimes a Poly Form manages to ingest a rat or insect farm, in these cases the PolyForm is already at its max state. Ingesting these creatures changes the mindset of the polyform and makes them hyper-aggressive. They look humanoid with pink skin, but where the head should be is a mass of several rats faces all with sharp teeth

The Taffy Man (WC)
A living nightmare, the Taffy man has a pliable body that allows him to hide in very tight spaces. He stalks his prey, hides under their bed, in the closet, or even on the ceiling. Because he has a taste for inducing fear he has been known to whisper or snicker while in the room with his prey. The Taffy man is a humanoid with pink skin stretched taut over his body, a disjointed jaw that hangs loose creating an oversized mouth and an eye melted shut while the other is stretched and nearly popping from his skull.

Special Abilities
* Bite: Str+d6.
