deep in the forest of Hi no Kuni there once was a band of warring bandits that terrorized the roads of the country. Like many before them they were dealt with by the countries shinobi and thought to be wiped out. Instead a few managed to retreat to lick their wounds and plan a comeback. They needed a way to overcome those that defeated them, so they turned to learning their ways as well as learning what the forests around them had to offer.
What it offered them were companions in the form of the forest animals that aided them in their pillaging when they were fully tamed. It wasn’t until they kidnapped a shinobi, some say it was an inuzuka, that they learned the ways of the shinobi and combined their two gifts into one.
As the years passed this band of bandits began to turn into a folk tale, of men turning into beasts in the night to ravage a village. It wasn’t until decades later that the tales stopped and a new clan surfaced soon after, with their inhuman transformations they claimed to offer their help in keeping the roads safe of the country and in return they would be offered sanctuary within their borders.
Were they the same clan as the bandits that once spread terror throughout the land? Only the clan elders would know and even then the last few of them are reaching their rope’s end in terms of years. Perhaps the mystery of this clan would forever be lost in the forest of Hi no Kuni, that is unless they follow the howls of wolves late at night.

Beast-Man Transformation Technique the clan has developed a technique that allows them to alter their body into that of a kind of therianthrope state. In short the user can turn their bodies into anthropomorphic animal-like shapes, mostly those belonging to any carnivore type mammals.
This technique is powerful in that it adds to the strength of one’s taijutsu skills, giving their limbs powerful tools such as strong claws to rake across flesh to tear into it with much more ease or to even change their legs to more digitrade forms to increase running speed. Other utilities it gives is the fact that when going the full length of the transformation or even focusing on different parts of the body at once or not they can change appendages such as ears, eyes, and even their nose to give them heightened senses to weed out foes that might be hiding from their view.

Approved, on the condition that the capabilities of an individual user is listed specifically with each rank up of the ability. Going to be a similar balancing to Akimichi & you'll have to limit the number of forms and capabiliites depending on rank. As it isn't a kekkei genkai it will take chakra to use.
