What my GM does with spells like, transform, shapechange, and
critter form is the following: the spellcaster has to know what the
creature looks like, it can't be a paranormal, and it can only be +/- 2
of the targets Body attribute and depending on what Bio-/Cyberware you
have that adds to your Body will affect the spell. i.e. My street sam with
natural body 6 (7 after suprathyroid gland) can be turned into a very large
dog or one of the wild cats, etc., as long as the critter fell into 5-9
body category. She couldn't be made into anything that was the size of a
house cat, because of too much mass (her own) or anything like an Orca,
not enough mass.
Hope I was helpful.
