rakshasa
Rakshasas are shape-shifting sorcerers, who are thought to originate from another plane of existence. In their natural form they resemble anthropomorphic animals of various sorts, tigers being the most common one. Perhaps their most distinctive feature is that their hands face upwards, opposite to most creatures, although this does not appear to affect their dexterity. Like doppelgangers, a rakshasa can assume the racial features of any creature it touches, but cannot mimic the exact features of individuals. Also its shape change ability is slightly weaker than that of a true doppelganger (as if its remort level was one lower). Specifically this means that they cannot morph into races that are of their same remort tier, and their stats when morphing into other races will be equal to (current_remort - 1). See help morph for more details. See showrace rakshasa for more details.
