Shifter

Shifter is an old power classification recently collapsed into Changer before the start of Worm. The two terms are now used interchangeably, both in speech and in written documents.

When Shifter was still in active use, it referred to a parahuman that could alter their appearance, while Changer referred to a parahuman that could physically take on another form. Both Biter and Oliver are examples of Shifters as defined under the older classification.
