===Subtypes===

They exploit this in a various ways, including, but not limited to:
*The power to grow extra weapons<ref>Weapon Horror - Change into an amorphous horror of natural and melee weapons.  Dealing damage and rampaging fills a rage bar, with the parahuman gaining additional changes and benefits while in the rage form. - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aHyZ7c7TIgt903mPinOakrgli2WZu5IRtiGYPCnCqDE/edit#gid=717384850 Detail Generator - LIST], spreadsheet by Wildbow</ref> or armor.<ref>'''Ox''' Strength, passive natural weapons - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aHyZ7c7TIgt903mPinOakrgli2WZu5IRtiGYPCnCqDE/edit#gid=548940677 Detail Generator - Changer], spreadsheet by Wildbow</ref>
*The ability to streamline one’s body, allowing for improved movement and evasion,<ref>Ferret - Can change configuration of body on the fly, giving faster than normal movement, including run-speed sneaking, double normal movement while moving through confined spaces, and half effect & duration from environmental slows and physical confinement effects. - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aHyZ7c7TIgt903mPinOakrgli2WZu5IRtiGYPCnCqDE/edit#gid=717384850 Detail Generator - LIST], spreadsheet by Wildbow</ref> often used for infiltration.<ref>Changer-stranger powers often involve changing one’s physical appearance, mimicking others, or using altered shape to slip in where an ordinary person couldn’t get.  The stranger and changer aspects thus blend together seamlessly (for much this reason, the changer category is sometimes referred to as shifter, an old designation for this specific eventuality).  Examples include stretching limbs, liquid form to seep through keyholes, or the ability to alter one’s face and mannerisms to match another individual. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CykV5BgK2EFY4v_cuUXJFpU1Ye3mIRV-VaHEUZxZO4k/edit STRANGERS], document by Wildbow.</ref>
*The ability to alter ones appearance or to alter one's human features, as found in the old Shifter classification.<ref>'''Monkey''' Copy appearance, steal faces, proper 'changer' as opposed to 'shifter' - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aHyZ7c7TIgt903mPinOakrgli2WZu5IRtiGYPCnCqDE/edit#gid=548940677 Detail Generator - Changer], spreadsheet by Wildbow</ref>
*The use of self-targeted biokinesis, possibly to heal oneself.<ref>'''PIg''' Biokinesis, healing, health, durability - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aHyZ7c7TIgt903mPinOakrgli2WZu5IRtiGYPCnCqDE/edit#gid=548940677 Detail Generator - Changer], spreadsheet by Wildbow</ref>
