Protein polymorph

Protein polymorphs were a rare, amorphous form of life that were each made up of a colony of cellular organisms.

Abilities
These creatures were capable of assuming the form of almost any animate creature and inanimate object. A protein polymorph could even transform itself into several forms, such as a dozen kobolds, which were all connected via a near-invisible cord of protoplasm. However, they could not accurately copy facial expressions or replicate the sound of speech. Their forms would possess the equivalent strength of the creature or item they imitated, but would not possess their unique abilities.

Combat
Protein polymorphs generally tried to bludgeon, enfold, and crush their prey.

History
In the early 14 century DR, a protein polymorph was terrorizing the pony fields of Tyrluk.

Diet
Protein polymorphs were carnivorous creatures, known to eat living beings regardless of their type and size.
