Description:
This rare species is usually silver/gray in color, but can change into almost any shape as long as the mass is the same.

Special Abilities:
Shape-Shifting: A Polydroxol can alter its shape. It cannot alter its mass. It cannot assume a form smaller than 10 centimeters in total width, although it can slim its “limbs” down to centimeter-width. A shape-shifter that makes an Easy shape-shifting roll can produce a weapon from its form, with added blades, which increases brawling damage by up to +3D.
Surface Altering: A Polydroxol can alter its surface texture to match most metals. It does not draw the properties of that metal, just the surface texture. It can reproduce lettering and complex patterns.
Segmenting: A Polydroxol can reduce its Strength by 1D to produce a segment. This segment, which shares all of the Polydroxol’s attributes and skills except Strength, is under the control of the Polydroxol. The segment can operate within a 35-meter radius of its host. It can “see” and “feel,” transmitting sensory information to the host. It can suffer damage, with a Strength attribute of 1D. If the segment is wounded, the host is also wounded until it breaks contact. If the segment is incapacitated or killed, the host suffers a wound and contact is broken. Maintaining contact with a segment counts as an action, as do any actions taken by the segment.

Special Skills:
Shape-shifting: Time to use: Varies, depending on shape; generally 1-10 minutes. Consider this skill advanced for advancement purposes. This skill allows the Polydroxol to assume complex shapes. Simple geometric shapes, like cubes or spheres, are Very Easy or Easy to replicate. A basic humanoid form is Difficult to replicate, additional details add more modifiers to the difficulty. Polydroxol roll this skill when assuming the new form. They don’t have to roll to maintain the new form. This skill can be used in place of a sneak attempt, with a +2D bonus if in an environment where a metallic object is likely to be found.

Story Factors:
Rare: Polydroxol are rare, and their abilities are largely unknown to the rest of the galaxy.
