In their natural form, Multi-form were eel-like, with long bodies, wide eyes and long fangs, slightly resembling a viperfish. They were able to change their appearance by establishing a [[psychic link]] with another being and reading their minds; this put the other being in a comatose state.

They could even take the appearance of several individuals at once, but they would need to be touching and would still be one person, sharing one voice and one mind. Also, the multiple heads could only look in a single direction at the same time. Though it would take months to connect to a individual, Multi-form could afford to do due to their lifespan. Besides specific individuals, Multi-form could also turn into a liquid or sand, allowing for quick escapes.
