A mistform sliver is a roughly 5’9’’ long sliver of a very pale pink color. When the sliver changes form, small wisps of mist escape from its body. Mistform Slivers are usually used as spies or recognizance troops by the sliver hives. [b]Combat: [/b] Mistform Slivers are one of the least aggressive of all slivers, but will still fight to the best of their abilities if ordered to do so. Often using their shapeshifting ability to get the upper hand. [b]Alternate Form (Su):[/b] A mistform sliver is able to take the shape of any creature type it has met, although its size does not change. It gains access to all the extraordinary abilities of the creature it mimics, but loses said abilities when it returns to it’s original shape or changes to another form.

[b]Shared Abilities (Ex):[/b] All slivers within 60’ of the mistform sliver gains access to its alternate form ability as though they possessed it themselves.
