It is a good thing. [By now the whelp snoozing in his lap starts to stir a bit, and Morpheus is momentarily distracted by scritching its belly.]

Yes. A druid does not just commune with nature, as I taught you. They do that, and much more-- he can change his shape depending on the situation, borrowing nature's power for his own. For example, a druid can learn how to turn into a giant bear, his skin so thick he wears it like armor. With that, he has immense strength and can defend his friends. Or, a druid can assume the shape of a tree, and learn how to channel life energy so that he can heal himself and his allies.

The possibilities are near endless. I have heard of druids being able to turn into birds, though I have not met one personally. A druid-bird, I mean.
