From the annuals of that classic RP game that started it all... Yuan-Ti morphs are fairly popular in certain circles, by my understanding; vying with the sylph morph for attention. Now, it takes a particular individual to be attracted to snake people, but don't try to tell me that half-blood morph over there isn't oozing with all sorts of sinister sensuality, especially the way that it's scales flicker and flash with those nanotats... I even think she's looking at us. [biomorph] Modified Rusters make for excellent Goliaths and muls, as well as excellent Gith morphs for those who are interested in taking it in that direction. [biomorph] Dryads, who are modified to have actual vegetation growth from their bodies, be it in the form of bark or ivy, are popular with the neopagan community. Especially more nature oriented ones. No better way to get closer to nature than having it grow from your body, right? [biomorph or pod] My understanding is that the Illithid morph is the byproduct of a seriously disturbed posthuman with way too much creativity who got his hands on an octopod. That's just a rumor though, I haven't actually *seen* one myself (for which I'm thankful). [pod] Goblin morphs, or especially ugly neotenic mods, are popular among unstable anarchist inventors. I can't figure out why. [biomorph] Purple skin dyes with white markings on the face, and tiny angel wings are all the fad amongst a religious sect of transhumans who, security in their immortality and eternity of lives, have started calling themselves "deva." [standard biomorph, probably an Exalt] What's 8 foot tall, has two massive horns, cloven hoofs, and often times sports a nose ring? If you answered Minotaur, you'd be right, but ... okay, yeah. So Dalton is still working on that over on Fortean. It'll be coming soon enough, mark my words. [pod] It's my understanding that the multi-eyed "Beholder" morph is also the byproduct of some of those wacky posthumans. Granted, no eye beams, but still. Those crazy posthuman kids; I wonder what they'll think of nex... on second thought, no I don't. [pod] While we've only successfully uplifted certain animals, others have been tried and failed, and then there's those where the goal wasn't uplifting at all, but the creation of some strange new morph for God only knows what purpose. When you take a rabid black puma, give it six legs, two tentacles, and camo-skin, can you expect anything other than a posthuman to upload themselves into it? [displacer beast, pod] Take a sylph, add dark gray, black, or purple skindye, red or purple irises, and shock-white hair, and you've got a better explanation for why Drow elves look like they do than they had in the original fiction. [biomorph, sylph] By my understanding someone tried a giant morph, but discovered rather quickly that the square/cube law was their enemy. Still, with a reinforced skeleton, it's possible - just so long as it's not a biomorph, that is. [synthmorph] Why yes, that morph does have a tiger head. And yes, those hands are on backwards. I'm sure they make for difficulty handling things, but then, look at the number of retainers Mr. Tiger has over there. I'm pretty sure with that many in his shadow, he doesn't need his hands for a whole lot. [rakshasa, pod] And on that note, that particular one with the hookah and the blanket over its shoulders with all those geometric designs does indeed have a fox head. Some people are strange individuals [raavasta, pod] No, you are not hallucinating. That morph does look like it's a walking body of quartz stones and growths. It's sorta like the Q-Morph on Venus, but it can function in lower temperatures. It's just as strong, though. [shardmind, synthmorph] Here's a good one for people who don't really like riding a smart horse, but don't really like walking and think a horse could get them through rough terrain better. It's a fancy little model... why yes, that is a human torso, arms, and head where the head of the horse is supposed to be. Why do you ask? [centuar, pod or synthmorph] That blue person has hair that looks like water, while that red one over there has hair that looks like it's on fire... but it's not, so don't worry. That's just an optical trick achieved by the way the nanotats flash and the way the hair is designed to stand on end like that, with the kinks in it. Oh yes, those glowing lines do match their eye and hair colors and skindyes; it's my understanding that these morphs build themselves themed around one particular element; earth, air, water or fire.
