Although there are many pokegirls that are metamorphic, meaning they are capable of changing the shape of their bodies, none are more capable of transforming themselves than the Titto. Their advanced shape shifting capabilities were designed for infiltration during the Revenge War. Although Titto is the name given to the breed by Sukebe, in the parts of Asia influenced by Hinduism they are also known by as Rakshasas; the name of mythical shapeshifting demons from that culture.

Tittos almost literally can take on the appearance of anything they desire; there are very few limitations placed on the breed. This has lead some to claim that a Titto has no 'true' form. Utilizing telepathy on a number of specimen though, researchers found that all Titto do have an image that they personally identify themselves with, and that this image is what they will revert to if they completely relax their transformation powers. It should be noted that if a Titto is suffering from some sort of identity crisis, her natural form can become altered in very bizarre ways. They often become non-specific, possibly even androgynous, and may they take on bizarre features like horns or divergent skin coloration.

There are two methods a Titto can use to transform. The first is simple shapeshifting, where they alter their bodies on their own. They can gain a limited level of enhancements by transforming this way, and by using the Enlarge and Reduce techniques can take on the shape of anything that's roughly 1/6 to six times their size. Using this method, a Titto could shift her body to be more muscular, enough to compete with an Amachop but not to the point she could equal an Amachoke. The same is true of any transformations she may apply to herself. She can heighten her abilities, but only to a point.

The second is a form of complex mimicry. In order to mimic another pokegirl, or possibly a human, they have to successfully drain energy from the victim. It is only during the use of their drain attacks that they can form a telepathic link with their victims. This results in them becoming a perfect copy of the target for a limited duration, based on the amount of energy drained. They are just as strong, fast, and durable as the target they're mimicking. Along with the transformation, they also gain a small bit of knowledge and instincts to utilize the new form. It was this method that earned them their secondary name as they preyed on humans in the parts of the world that would become the White Lotus League. If the breed they transform into has particularly strong instincts, these may take control of the Titto for as long as she's in that form. Also, excessive amounts of negative emotions interferes with the telepathic portion of the mimicry process, causing the transformation to fail.

Although they can completely change shapes into even inorganic objects, all of a Titto's vital organs are always present in some way when changing shape. This means that damage done to a Titto when she's transformed always translates over to when she reverts to her natural shape, or changes to another one. It's also part of the reason for their diet issues as heavy, solid foods complicate the shifting of their digestive tract. Most often, they suffer from symptoms in line with food-poisoning, but the risk of rupture also exists.

A Titto is a very diverse battler, and can perform extremely well in any amateur fights or against most ferals. However, they have been noted to fall short of very competitive battles, for simple reasons that aren't obvious to most. They fight by shapeshifting into a form for combat, but they will either be limited by their enhancements through one method, putting them at a physical disadvantage against most high tier opponents or they will mimic their opponent. In this situation though, their opponent will nearly always be more experienced in fighting with her specific powers and her own body. The most successful battling Tittos tend to abandon their Jack of All Trades nature and focus on mastery of a limited set instead.

Because of their ability to change shapes, Tittos can fulfill nearly any fetish. Most are eager to please by shape changing as well, though showing appreciation for their natural form is also a good tactic to gain their affection.

Harem dynamics come down to the individual in question, like many breeds. However, there are no trends prevalent in the breed, and nearly all issues reported can be solved through simple discipline.

Feral Tittos are rare enough by frequency, and finding one is made even more difficult by the fact that they tend to disguise themselves as other breeds so only a pokedex scan will reveal them for what they are. There is one notable exception to this, though. Seemingly in line with the lunar cycle; Tittos become extremely lustful. This is not very problematic with the domesticated members of the breed. Their season is fairly predictable and their tamer can dedicate a little extra time to the 'girl in question. With ferals; it's a different matter. They are notorious for seeking out taming partners, and instinctively will select a human over another pokegirl. Although what point in the lunar cycle differs from Titto to Titto, full moons, new moons, or half moons are the most common trigger.

Thresholding is another thing difficult to detect for Tittos. The most frequent early sign is problems eating typical foods. Occasionally, threshold victims instead accidently transform into something else or they get picked up by a random pokedex scan.
