The shokasura takes on the appearance of a Small humanoid. This doesn't change the shokasura's Speed or their attack and damage modifers with their Strikes, but it might change the damage type their Strikes deal (typically to bludgeoning). The asura typically loses their thorn Strike unless the humanoid form has a similar unarmed attack. This alternate form has a specifc, persistent appearance, which the shokasura can change by performing a 1-hour ritual.
