> I would agree if you if shapeshifters appeared as normal animals instead of the big-ass trainwrecking killer voles, muskrats, and seven-headed displacer ducks that they are. Then again, maybe they should be let by. Or maybe they should attack any such creature on sight, as voles, muskrats, and displacer ducks carry no purses and are therefore useless to the Empire.
Just for argument: homoculuous (or whatever they are), shadowcats, devilish imps, etc. seem (to me) to be *far* more bizarre, ***sentient***, *and* threatening than, say, the muter shifted form "cat" or "racoon" or "turtle."
