SHAPESHIFTER BY PHYSICAL INTROSPECTION, 
 BY  BUILDING  CLAY  FIGURES  AND  SEEING 
       ONESELF IN THEM. AS FOLLOWS:

     FREAKY, PERHAPS TOO COOL, 
     TOO SOVEREIGN.  
 RACCOON    VIRUS BEARER. RABIES.  
     HANDED. PERHAPS TOO CUTE. 
 RAT    CRITTER, BENEATH-DWELLER, 
     THE MOST RATLIKE BY  
     VIRTUE OF BEING ONE.  
     WHATEVER THAT IS.

     DOESN'T LOOK DANGEROUS,  
     A BIT PATHETIC MAYBE.
