When in public, the bounty hunter known as Zam Wesell would use her powers of shapeshifting to appear as a human.
Changeling or shapeshifter were the designations applied to those rare species capable of altering their physical appearance. Hailing from Zolan, the Clawdites were one such species of shapeshifters. These abilities made changelings formidable imposters, nearly impossible to detect, thereby creating significant security concerns. A prime example is the Clawdite bounty hunter Cato Parasitti, who aided Cad Bane in his infiltration of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant by taking on the guise of the deceased Jedi Master Ord Enisence, and subsequently, the Chief Librarian Jocasta Nu. During the reign of Emperor Palpatine, Imperial Intelligence of his Galactic Empire rigorously monitored shapeshifters with connections to the criminal underworld.
Shape-shifting was also attainable through the Force. Force wielders possessed this capability, exemplified by the Son who could morph into a sizable, winged gargoyle, and the Daughter who could transform into a griffin.
