The morph is a unidentified lifeform that seems to exist to only kill and eat creatures, as well as miscellaneous items.
A morph is a unique and extremely rare midround antagonist. You have very few ways to interact with the world, being unable to pick up or use any item. However, you have several unique abilities to help you.
Your main ability. By shift-clicking any object, you can transform into it, mimicking its appearance. You can morph into almost any object in the game, from a drop of blood to a human. Morphing to a human, silicon or other organic lifeform will transform you into an exact replica of what said lifeform was wearing at that moment, however your appearance is aesthetic only - transforming into a being with a riot shield won't allow you to block melee attacks.
You can revert to your original form via shift+clicking yourself.
When undisguised, you move very slowly, when disguised you speed up considerably. Don't try to attack directly because most humans can easily kite you. Hide as an harmless object and watch them panic as a locker turns into a monster.
You deal 20 brute damage while untransformed, and can't attack while disguised. You must undisguise yourself to reliably kill anyone.
You CAN communicate at any time, but your speech will be heavily slurred; this makes it both hard to understand and capable of revealing the fact that you are a morph.
The only way you can regenerate health is by eating a dead lifeform, anything will do and you can do this in both disguised and undisguised states. You can also eat non-organic items such as guns or metal, but this provides no benefit besides denying those items to anyone else and you need to be undisguised.
When you first enter the station try and find a simple disguise. Disguise as something benign like a pen, paper or some blood and find a good disguise. A human or cyborg disguise will work, however a disguise like beepsky works wonders in open hallways.
Avoid having to talk to humans, but if you must communicate with humans, keep your words short. Longer speech will have a higher chance of being slurred. So instead of saying "Hi how are you?", which will come out as "Hii hoawww'w arree yoou?", say "Hi." Also consider emoting instead of talking, such as waving.
Use your mobility to your advantage. In any form you can freely move over tables, and you can ventcrawl, allowing you to bypass doors and other basic security measures.
