there are so many things you could do if you were a shapeshifter

• be a crow and scare the crap out of people with omens or nonsensical prophecies (because crows are able to talk)

• cause drama by appearing to be someone else

• be a seagull and poop on bad people

• make people even more scared of the ocean by making sea monsters real

• be a stray cat and if someone adopts you turn back into a human immediately after they say something embarrassing that someone would only say to their cat

• be a raccoon or a monkey and steal things

• be a creepy thing in the woods

• be a dragon and dramatically sit atop a mountain

• impersonate political or religious figures

• be absolutely done with civilization and hibernate for a whole season

• be an exact copy of someone’s pet and see their owner’s reaction

• pee anywhere as long as nobody sees that you’re actually a human (probably just for emergencies tho)

• scream into the night without risk of getting the cops called on you because you can sound like a monster

• have a really really good cosplay as any creature from anything ever

• be a valstrax (really cool dragon from MH with jet engines for wings)
