Lord ruleeeeeeer! One other thing that I thought of regarding Kandra abilities, do we know if they tire? If they have such minute control over their bodies, I would imagine it would be easy for a Kandra to repair their bodies, hence granting them a form of enhanced stamina/endurance, no?

This is one of the reasons I really love the concept of the Kandra but understand that you have to have some handwavium going on otherwise it becomes ridiculously strange that they have certain flaws. I personally would just headcannon the inability to recreate some parts/structures of creatures is due to intent. Kandra have been told over the generations and so most if not all can't get past that.

I believe that WoB mentions that they would be able to eat a Chasmfiend but the square cube law prevents them from surviving being a Chasmfiend

Hello, 17th Shard! I'm looking to get a full idea of what a Kandra is fully capable of doing with their bodies and what have you. I haven't seen a compilation of what specifically they are able to achieve, believably are able to achieve, and that is impossible for them to achieve in terms of their shapeshifting. If someone has done so before, please link me! Some of the obvious ones they are known to achieve: Copy the appearance of a creature they have digested Adjustments to the shape of those previously consumed* This seems to be on a skill basis where the more skilled the Kandra, the more they are able to freeform Manipulate their form to lockpick Heal from wounds Mixing and matching parts from creatures consumed Some that could be believably achieved: Take on a completely chimeric form from scratch(using true bodies that are not shaped like regular ol humans), using different parts from different creatures and applying them together. This is a more extreme form of the mixing and matching parts from creatures. Enhancing and refining their bodies through more selective digestion Since they can completely control their bodies, they could feasibly increase muscle density(which they are already shown to be able to do) and apply it tenfold to create muscles that are almost indestructible by conventional means Expanding by consuming lots of matter and squeezing it into a smaller form becoming denser, and or vice versa Growing to larger, gigantic sizes and vice-versa Impossible to achieve: ??? Thoughts? Suggestions?
