Um, he's already tackled polymorphism where the different stages/castes can be completely different.

Oh good, then we can have a phoenix that has a circular life cycle egg -> bird -> egg -> bird, where killing any one stage will simply drop a phoenix egg and ash.

Nop, I don't want to see immortal creatures in my game. Sooner of later the whole world would be filled with Phoenixes.

No, I believe he's said he doesn't want creatures morphing into totally different body types just yet because it would make a real hassle out of stuff like wound and inventory inheritance.

Something along those line G-Flex

Which sorta makes sense... how do you handle a four legged creature who has lost his front leg who transforms into a humanoid?
