Ok, first the spell limits the type of critter you can change to. Only
normal critters from SRII. (Sorry no albatross here. "What flavors have
you got".."It's bloody albatross flavor") Pack Rhino is an original
idea, but rmember it can not comunicate with other team members. I
believe this is what the spell is kinda designed for. Need a Pack animal
or convinient animal mode of transport? Cant cast spells in this form
either. While aRhino can carry a lot of things, what about suprise
ambushes and unloading the stuff? Sorry, if I were Joe Shmoe corp guard
and I saw a Rhino and a group of runners, I would shoot the Rhino
first!!(and seconed and third) In fact, I would order my squad to shoot
the rhino first!!! It all depends on imagination.

The grimoire says only that normal critters can be used, that is to exclude
paranormal animals but just because the stats for an albatross aren't listed,
that doesn't stop it being a valid form to change into.

Ok true, but what about that nasty on the other side of the fence? GM's
can be the nastyest beast alive. I fcharacters are abusing a spell, make
them want to not use it, don't eliminate it.
