Metamorph is the monster crafted by the player by using monster organ samples. The abilities and 3D models of the monster are affected by the organ used. For example, using organ from Tyrant (Colonnade MapColonnade MapMap Level: 71
Map Tier: 4
Guild Character: .Small minds demand
the largest structures.Travel to this Map by using it in a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once.) would allow the Metamorph use the 3d model of Tyrant in one of its phases.

Alternatively, it can appear by default in maps by allocating atlas passive skill Escaped Experiment. These naturally spawning Metamorphs are also known as Rogue Metamorphs and will be comprised of enemies and bosses found in that map. Their rewards randomized.

Mechanics

Organs from map bosses that are Possessed with a Template:Torment from map modifiers appear to apply an increased item quantity bonus to dropped rewards. Map bosses who become possessed by a roaming Tormented Spirit do not apply this bonus.

When assembling a Metamorph, the meter at the side indicates #% more Damage, #% more Maximum Life, and #% chance for Double Rewards the Metamorph gains based on the organs used to construct it. Metamorph organs that are higher rarity and item level will contribute more towards the meter on the Metamorph menu.

Drops

#invoke: Item table

Itemized organs only drop from Metamorphs in maps when the meter is full and it contains at least one Unique enemy's organ.

The four Unique Items exclusive to Metamorphs can only be obtained from Metamorphs assembled in Tane's Laboratory.

Other rewards vary based on the description on the organs used. For example, if the organs state a reward as "Unique Item", using that organ to craft the Metamorph would add generic unique item to the dropped loot when the Metamorph has slain.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.20.1	Significantly increased the experience gained from killing Metamorph Monsters.
3.19.0	Assembled Metamorphs no longer summon minions at various life thresholds.
3.14.0	Reduced the chance for Map Areas to contain Abyss, Ambush, Blight, Breach, Domination, Essence, Heist, Legion, Metamorph and Torment encounters by 20%. The chance to encounter a Zana mission containing any of these mechanics has also been lowered by the same amount.
3.11.0	Fixed several Metamorph skills that were using the wrong visual effects.
3.10.0	Metamorph, and Tane, can now be found once you reach maps. Each map has a 10% chance to be populated with monsters who can drop Metamorph parts. The "maximum power" effect on the bar to the right of the Metamorph panel no longer plays if it is impossible for the fight to drop an itemised organ.
3.9.2	Fixed a bug which caused Metamorph bosses to become unfreezable. They can once again be frozen, however they have a higher ailment threshold relative to map bosses with similar amounts of Life. Adjusted a number of Metamorph skills, including the Reliquarian's Firestorm, the Shavronne & Brutus Hover Slam, Tentacle Miscreation projectile skills, the tracking Mortar skills (including those used by Oriath zombies and Kitava's Heralds), Burning and Caustic Ground-creating skills and several others. In general, these will now either deal less damage or be easier to avoid.
3.9.0	Introduced to the game.
