When you feel your character is ready to gain a new morph, there are a few things to keep in mind. While you are free to acquire any animal at any time on this site, we ask you to try not to get carried away and acquire everything in sight. That makes for boring roleplaying. Also, try to keep it realistic. Most people wouldn't jump into a snake pit to acquire a cobra, etc.
That being said, a basic ten-point guide to morphing is posted below.
Morphing Reminders
1. To acquire an animal's DNA, you must physically touch it and focus on absorbing the DNA. The animal usually goes into a trance.
2. You must concentrate on the image of an animal you have acquired in order to turn into it.
3. When morphing, your shape changes in an unpredictable manner over a period of two or three minutes.
4. When morphing, only skin-tight clothing will change with you. All other clothing ect. will likely fall off or be destroyed.
5. You can only stay in animal form for two hours at a time without being stuck in that form permanently, thus becoming a nothlit.
6. When morphed, you gain the instincts of the animal you became. Often these instincts need to be controlled.
7. When morphed you are capable of thought speech. You can communicate mentally with individuals or entire groups of people. They will not be able to communicate back unless they are also in morph (or an andalite).
8. You cannot acquire someone else’s morph.
9. You cannot acquire a dead animal.
10. All physical damage to your body is healed whenever you morph or demorph. If you acquired a sick or injured animal, it will be healthy when you morph into it.
For the site-specific rules that used to be in place (but aren't any longer) pertaining to gaining morphs, check here.
