Shape shifters can be invisible, specifically transparent, especially if they want to watch you and learn about you without being seen. When they’re invisible, you can still see a faint outline of their body, which is more obvious if they move around. They can hang upside down from your rooftop to look in at you through your window and then run off through the trees like a squirrel or monkey, but you can still see their outline, if they’re big enough. They can move pretty fast when they want to, like most wild creatures, so you have to be looking at the spot where they are to be able to see them.
Lookit’ me, aren’t I cute? Lookit’ us hop around like tiny lil people. If we act like children will you love us and give us a snack? Aren’t we just adorable? Oh, you think? Would you like to give us a burrito? If I sit on your rear view mirror, will you give me some of your delicious salad? What’s that, a vegetable?? No thanks, can I please just have your croutons, and some of that tasty salad dressing? Okay? Great. Did I just throw all your fast food wrappers all over the ground while looking for a tasty treat? Me? What?? Since I didn’t find a full size burger, do you think you can go to Wendy’s for me? No? Can we share? I’ll just stare at you until you become hypnotized to be my slave and go get me Wendy’s. Yay Wendy’s! Thank you nice person. You are nice. Let’s be friends or at least lunch mates. I love you so much when you feed me cookies and French fries. How am I not fat? One of life’s greatest mysteries. Oh you thought I was stuck to that light pole because it’s -30 degrees Fahrenheit and I’m just sittin’ here holding onto frozen metal without gloves? Nope, because my blood is made from liquid antifreeze. Are you watching?? Lookit’ how pretty I am when I practice my flying skills. I can fly high or low and do summersaults in the wind! Whee! Lookit’ me! You’re watching me because I’m so pretty, aren’t you?? I thought so! Whee! Did I just poop on your windshield? Oops. 🐤
