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).
