Wereocto

GoTverse Wereoctos are a race of Werebeast specific to the Game of Tomes universe (the GoTverse). Wereoctos are made, not born, as their abilities rely on the Octopus Totem's acceptance.

Size: Medium

speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet, and, in Half-Octo or Octo form, your base swimming speed is 35 feet.

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common, Mollusc, and one extra language of your choice. Wereoctos are booksmart, and can learn even dead languages with ease.

race features:
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Shapeshift. You can shapeshift between 3 forms: Humanoid, Half-Octo, and Octo. Shapeshifting takes one full action. After the 3^rd shift without long rest, there is an increasing chance (25% per shift) that you are stuck in a form until long rest. Springy Bones. You have bones that bend far further than an average Human's which assists you in acrobatic manuevers. You gain a +1 to any Dexterity (Acrobatics) check.

Wereoctos appear nearly indistinguishable from Humans in their Humanoid form, and commonly take on a near-perfect guise of a mollusc in Octo form. What is truly unique about Wereoctos is their Half-Octo form, which is bipedal and looks much like an anthropomorphized mollusc.
