A polythropic (shape shifter) mythical creature that has the ability to assume the shape, and or personality, and or soul, of the humans or animals it kills and consumes.
The monster from John Carpenter's The Thing was the best amalgamorph ever to appear in movies, even though the one in Dean Koonz "Phantoms" was scarier!
