A metamorph is a natural or artificial creature which has the faculty to change form as much as it wants.
It can be done because of its muscle’s malleability (the “face-dancers” in Dune) or through the ability to re-organise its body’s cells (or molecules) (the constable Odo in Star Trek: DS9, or The Thing in the John Carpenter’s movie).
Synonym : Shape-shifter
