Are there any races of "true" shapeshifters other than the malaugrym in the forgotten realms?

| but they have a limited ability to shapeshift, Were-creatures change from person to animal and vice versa, dopplegagners are always humanoid, dragons change from humanoid to dragon, etc... |

| No, dragons also shift to animals, not only humanoids. It could be that that yellow cat you saw yesterday was in truth a gold dragon ... |

| Fair enough, but I mean creatures that can sprout extra appendages and tentacles, or shrink themselves or turn into a dead-looking leaf. |

In that case, the malaugrym are pretty much by themselves (except for when Elminster fools everyone by imitating a table leg). |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.
