Bio-morphs are by far more common and are generally human. You could have athletically perfect bodies for combat characters, neurologically enhanced morphs for brainy characters or loli morphs for creepy characters. Yes, really.
But then there are the Uplifts, morphs made from genetically engineering animals to human-level intelligence. These include simians, birds and octopi.
And then? Then there are the Surya.
Surya morphs are based off of whales and are literally designed to swim around the surface of the sun. They are godamned awesome.
