Morph Selection Guide

[Jullian]

So I know we all put thought into the morphs we want, trying to balance utility with style with character preference and sometimes with color codes.

I can't speak to all of the personal stuff but I know there are some basic categories that people try to fill out to get a well rounded animorph.

If anyone has ideas for categories to add just let me know.
