Each obake is unique, but as a rule, are incredibly long-lived. An obake may reach what equates to adulthood after a decade, or not until after a century or more. It is unknown whether obake can die of old age.

In addition to your true form, you have a humanoid and animal form (your animal form depends on your subrace). You can assume either form as an action. These forms appear the same whenever you assume them; you cannot alter how they look. When you assume your humanoid form, your game statistics remain the same. For specifics on taking your animal form, please see the Animal Transformation sidebar. What animal form you can take is outlined in each of the subraces presented below.

Thanks to your fey ancestry, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 30 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

There are nine distinct subraces among obake. Each one resembles a different kind of animal, although all obake, even those of different animal types, regard one another as kin.
