Monster's name - Udyr, the Animal Spirit

Monster's concept (like giant crab or ooze from radioactivity) - Udyr is a Shaman who has learned the greatest power known to his people. His body houses so much raw energy and power that he can grow to stand over 30 feet tall and uses his bond with nature and animals to take on the characteristics of animals and give him strength.

Monster's appearance - Covered in furs from the animals he has slain, Udyr is tall, broad and crackling with an aura of power and untamed ferocity. His eyes glow with the magic barely contained within. The fur on his head changes to match whichever animal he emulates.

Monster's powers and weapons (be creative, but keep it within the theme of the game) - Using only his body as a weapon, Udyr can quickly shift his mind into a 'stance' emulating a specific animal, gaining some of the characteristics of that animal. There is an instant effect that lasts for only a moment or two, and a persistent effect that lasts until he changes his 'stance' or cancels it altogether. Each time he invokes a stance, his fury grows, allowing him to attack faster and dodge a bit better for a short time. This effect can stack a few times but only through 'stance-dancing' consistently can he maximize his rage. It takes a few seconds for him to adjust to each stance so he can't switch instantly and constantly.

Turtle- Udyr's skin takes on a scaly feel and he begin to slightly regain his health and power with every blow he strikes on his enemies. When he shifts to Turtle, he gains a momentary 'shell' that blocks a moderate amount of damage for a few seconds.

Bear- Udyr roars and for a few seconds, the spirit of the bear lets him rapidly charge at his enemies. His hands strike like bear paws and occasionally, his strikes stun his prey for just a second.

Phoenix- Udyr's body erupts into flame and spreads a blast of fire around him momentarily. heavily burning those close around him. His strikes also carry the fire, as every so often, one of his strikes bursts into flame dealing damage to the surrounding area as well.

Tiger- In tiger stance, Udyr's attacks are less moderately less powerful, but significantly faster. His hands and reflexes become lightning quick and his skin becomes slightly striped. When he switches to Tiger stance, his next attack rakes at his enemy, dealing massive damage if he strikes any flesh or weak spot.

Monster's alignment (Good? Evil? Rogue?) - Rogue. While he looks out for himself and nature, that sometimes put him at odds with humanity.
