===Notable Morphs=== Eclipse Phase has lots of Morphs to choose from, many of which can be invaluable to specific character builds or allow for great player options and/or roleplaying. On the other hand, the game also has a bunch of relatively hilarious ones, that players or GMs like to bitch about. *'''[[Metal Gear|Fenrir]]:''' [[Meme|A weapon to surpass Metal Gear]]. A quadrupedal walking tank capable of housing heavy weapons, this is the final answer to missions where total destruction is the objective. Notably the only Morph capable of housing more than one Ego: in theory all six of the Ego slots can be taken by the same person using multiple forks, but this has yet to be proven to be possible. Obviously, the exorbiant cost and restricted nature of the Fenrir paired with that it's a massive tank means it's got a limited niche in which it can function. *'''[[Imperial Guard|Flat]]:''' A basic human with no modifications. This is their primary draw for those who sleeve into them: whether as a fashion or political statement. Many body banks have a few on hand as last resort option for those who don't want synths. Those Flats who were born on Earth are treated as collector's items and you can expect to make big bucks if you have one of these. Obviously, they aren't very good at anything, with some of them even having health problems that were engineered out of humanity a long time ago. *'''[[Female Space Marines|Furies]]:''' The most combat-oriented biomorph available. They are quick, fast, strong, and usually [[Hot Chicks|biologically female]], to <s>introduce strong wymyn to the setting</s> offset their natural aggressiveness. This also means that they tend to get underestimated by people who haven't dealt with them, because in a setting with 8' robots capable of ripping your arms off you tend to overlook the tall women. *'''Infomorph:''' Digital only forms that can exist only in computers. This certainly has its uses, but being a digital being certainly has its downsides. *'''[[Skaven|Jenkins]]:''' Jenkins look like 75% human and 25% rat, making them the ugliest motherfuckers around in a universe that has the Novacrab. [[Nurgle|They also stink like shit]], to the point where you can't remove their smell from furniture if they sit on it for a longer time. The scum's are particularly fond of this morph and are known for [[Troll|rubbing themselves on visitors to make them smell as bad as they do, for teh trullz]]. This is usually followed by whining about how it's the policy of most Hypercorps to [[Exterminatus|shoot them on sight]], just because they hate <s>lazy, degenerate assholes</s> '''FREEDOM'''. These guys were deliberately designed to be as annoying as possible, but also for massively enhanced sexual stamina and to cater for a bunch of weird fetishes. They were obviously designed by the Scum. The only thing worse than these guys is '''Griefers''', a (throwaway) Morph that literally has an Anonymous mask on its illustration and that exists only to harass people and do some quick brainhacking to make politicians masturbate in public. *'''Mimic:''' A lump of metal a bit larger than a human head, Mimics can turn into just about any small object, cleaning robot or household appliance. The downside is that if you turn into a coffee machine and people try to use you, they'll discover that you won't work which might end up blowing your cover or see you put in the trash. Garbage containers in Eclipse Phase are full of disassembler nanotech... *'''Neo-Avians:''' are uplifted birds like crows, ravens, parrots and so on. About as large as human children, they have been made more dextrous and were given extra digits on the wings like bats. They can fly in 1g environments, so when dealing with other kinds of gravity is going to be a bit of an issue. *'''[[Loli|Neotenic]]:''' Transhumans modified to always look like children. Because they're small, agile and don't need many resources they are ideal on spacecraft, but even in-universe people are weirded out by sleeving into kids (or kids sleeving into adults), banning them in certain areas. *'''Novacrabs:''' For when you want to play a man-sized sapient [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_spider_crab spider crab]. To stay in-character and respect the spirit of the developers, [[Lolwut|complain loudly about how no one in the inner system wants to hang out with you just because you're a giant fucking monster crab from hell]]. [[Derp|MUH MORPHOLOGICAL FREEDOM]]! There's also a spider tank Morph out there, for when your Novacrab player decides to keep trolling you while adding enough combat utility to solo a small army to his PC. *'''[[Dreadnought|Reapers]]:''' An armoured disk with four arms, each capable of [[Rip and Tear|fucking your shit up]]. It can also maneuver in microgravity, due to having small thrusters. Reapers are forbidden on most habitats because people fear their sheer potential for [[Khorne|badassness]]. For extra lulz, visit a [[Slaanesh|Scum Barge]] with one of these things and four [[Flamer|flamethrowers]] installed and when they object, [[Sisters of Battle|burn them all down]] [[Troll|while shouting something about your morphological freedom]]. The Ultimates love these babies, and few other people like the Ultimates. I wonder why? *'''[[Scarab|Spares]]:''' One moment you're in a firefight or you're looking at alien flora, the next thing you're in a small robotic bug. [[Dark Souls|Congratulations, you died]]. Spares are useful because they can collapse into a 2 kilogram disc only half a foot across, and they're designed to allow for easy plug and play functionality in case of an untimely death. Common equipment for those who go gatecrashing, but the problem is that they're not very useful for... well, anything. *'''Suryas:''' Eclipse Phase has a lot of odd morphs for those who want to explore areas with harsh environmental conditions, from the centaur guys you can have on the frigid surface of Titan to the odd synthmorphs you might want to use to fly among the rings of Saturn for months on end. Suryas, however, are even odder. While most people might want one of the specially designed robot bodies for this, it is entirely possible to become a red space whale that uses magnetic field shenanigans to fly around in the Sun's corona. And yes, there is a humanoid version you can use to go [[Awesome|surfing on a space whale inside the Sun]]. *'''[[That Guy|Swarmanoids]]:''' A swarm composed of thousands of insect-sized microbots that share one consciousness. Awesome in theory, but [[skub|have fun arguing about the intricacies of the sensory input of the damn thing]], [[Lolwut|or watch your player stack every fucking implant in the book on the swarm and then try to electrocute a thousand enemies at once]]. That the Swarmanoid has special rules on fucking everything, including picking up fucking crates, doesn't help. [[Troll|Just introduce strong winds and watch the Swarmanoid get literally pulled apart]] [[grimdark|and die]] if it pisses you off too much. Or use EMP's. Normal synths can survive those, but Swarmanoids get positively [[Lulz|rekt]] by them. *'''Takkos:''' No, not Mexican. It's a robot octopus morph designed for uplifted octopi. There are some humans who use them too, because being a robot octopus is fucking awesome and sleeving into a synthmorph is a lot less stressful than turning yourself into an actual octopus. There are all kinds of lulz you can get up to with 8 arms that can stick to walls, [[Dakka|like shooting 4 guns at once]] or [[Rogue|crawling into places nobody else could dream of reaching.]] Like the Reaper this morph also has thrusters built-in so it can "swim" through microgravity.
