I originally started this as personal referance for a polymorph focused character i was working on. The idea was to find creatures with odd abilities that would work in interesting ways if a PC ever got ahold of them, as well as look for extraordinary abilities that i might be able to combine together via the Master Transmogrifist PrC. I hope this proves useful to my fellow playgrounders :smallsmile:
If you see an ability that you don't think belongs or know of an ability I could add, do me a favor and let me know
