Animal shifters were rare, outcasted from sociality completely. Yes, shifters still lived in cities and had "human lives" but they stayed in human form so no one knew. You were an outcasted shifter, meaning you used your abilities normally.

The 141 was firing at a few enemy troops before they saw you. Jumping out from the trees in your animal form, taking down and practically mauling the enemies as you were shot at.

"Fucking hell.."

Ghost muttered as he took cover.
