Change Shape (concentrate, occult, polymorph) — The gumiho changes into humanoid or fox shape. Their humanoid shape has a specific, persistent appearance but their true form is their fox shape. In humanoid shape, the gumiho uses their original size, loses their jaws strike but retains their claws strike, and their Speed is reduced to 25 feet. A gumiho is never able to completely conceal one of their nine tails through this transformation.
