Metamorphmagus adding on here:Lotus Lively wrote: 21 Feb 2026, 23:47So technically with practice Lotus could become a dog or something of the likes?Vladislav Liam Gunther wrote: 21 Feb 2026, 23:41 NVM NVM I was mixing the restriction with animagus (animagus and patronus confuse me often when I think about prereqs and restrictions. Basically patronuses do no damages but you in your animagus form will, one requires changing your body (which Metamorph can already do) while the other is just a spell cast.)
With metamorphmagus like Ava or Lotus, they can’t completely shift into an animal. In the books/movies, we see Tonks change her nose into a duck shape, and metamorphmagi’s are the same! IIRC (though staff can correct me if I’m wrong), Lotus could shift to have a duck beak, but that beak wouldn’t be functional.
For reference: here is the official info for metamorphmagus which states: “ The appearance of someone's body may be changed but that does not grant the metamorphmagus the power or skill that comes with the appearance. For instance, if a metamorphmagus decided to give themselves claws that does not mean that they now have increased damages done if they were to attempt to slash someone with their 'claws.'”
Additionally, metamorphmagi are unable to take the ability ‘animagus’ as per the rules, meaning that Lotus would never truly shift into a dog fully and/or functionally.
Here is some more info about the full scope of metamorphmagus abilties: (taken from here)
Reducio
“ A metamorph is unable to alter their form to that of an animal, except in the most superficial and miniscule ways, and only with cosmetic effect. While they are able to extend and shape what is originally part of their body, they may not grow new body parts or features that would help them in the way an organ helps an animal, and their physical abilities will always remain strictly human. As such, they could give themselves the slitted pupils of a cat, but they would not be reflective or help them see better. Whilst they could transform their bones to appear as if they have bumps or horns, they cannot create new body parts or extend these bumps to any great degree. The same applies to body hair, they can only add or remove from what they have, and cannot completely or partially cover themselves in fur to add animalistic features to their appearance. For example, a metamorph can shape their ears into that of a cat’s, and grow patches of hair on top of them, but they would still be human ears cast into a different mould. Similarly, they can alter their nose to appear as that of a pig, or their lips into that of a duck's, but such changes are temporary and purely at a surface-level. Accordingly, metamorphs cannot create new body parts, such as a tail, nor can they recreate those body parts that have been lost.”

(all special races have that restriction, I was just naming metamorphmagus since they notably yk, can shift. But so can werewolves (not by choice). The rest, not so much.)

Considering that the entire information in each ability blocks under metamorphmagus is revolving around humans, I'm gonna say it's just to change your looks to align with another person or in general to look different than you do by default.
Yeah I'm thinking that yer right
im not a fan of the restriction but I understand why it's in place

Thanks Ava
I was gonna ping you because you're the only metamorphmagus I know

yeah, I'm not very good with races other than human and goblins, unfortunately, so if I was helpful, I'm glad, but I managed to confuse myself in the meantime lol.

Tbh I feel like if someone is a Metamorphmagus that it would actually help them have a little more control over having a Animagus form because Metamorphomagi are always dealing with the control of how they appear and their emotions and it would probably be a smoother transformation

I'm realizing now that I probably should have gotten a mentor
but my questions always come up at weird times and I rather figure out stuff myself
