This article contains the various traits available to animal shapechange, including Shapechange Spells, Forms and so forth.
In Sagatafl, shapechanging into an animal isn't about combat power, where bigger and stronger is better but rather about abilities, including movement abilities and being able to function in enviroments where Humans either can't go, or can only visit with difficulty and risk.

Animal Shapechange Build Points
Each Shapechange Spell that change the target into Animal Shape or into a Form gves a number of Build Points, and one or more extra BPs with Strong Magic or Very Strong Magic.
These BPs must then be spent to pay for all the traits that the desired animal species has - and all traits must be purchased; it isn't possible to "save BPs" by shapechanging into a snake that doesn't have infravision or into cat that doesn't have night vision. Remaining BPs are converted into a Duration, thus the cheaper the animal species is, the longer the Spell will last.
The first BP cost is for the size difference between the target and the desired species.

Advice
Include any and all pertinent advice here. The goal is to increase the chance of each player having fun, by giving advice helping the player to decide whether to buy the ability or not (if the article is about one or more abilities) or use the option (if the article is about something that characters can choose to do), and later on how to make use of the ability (e.g. to avoid any pitfalls that aren't extremely obvious).
Please note
Clarify, elaborate, try to predict and answer questions that are somewhat likely to be asked during character creation or during play.
Mini-FAQ
Put in sub-sections (three ='s) each containing multiple Q&As, and insert a blank line between each individual Q&A.

The world
A section mainly for the GM, or worldbuilder, about the world impact of the phenomenon, e.g. an Item Creation Power, or an attribute or other stat that may sometimes be starkly high or low relative to the Human average.
World impact
Talk about the effect on the world that this phenomenon would realistically have (taking into account such facts of human nature as greed, ambition and sexual impulses).
The Ärth setting
Talk about how this trait appears and functions in the Ärth historical fantasy setting.
Design Notes
Talk briefly about what the purpose of the mechanic is. Omit this section if it is extremely obvious to the target audience.
Quick mini-glossary
Explain terms of great relevance to the subject matter of the article here, but not terms that are of generally great importance (e.g. RD).
