----------------------

The animal form is the natural form as I understand it. It was only choosen to express
the animal attributes as modifiers for the human ones (dunno the
reason beyond that), but in
"reality" it would be more apropriate to express the human atributes
as the animal ones with modifiers. That would also be the way in which
the shapechanger feels it I would say, for example the shapechaner
would not feel quicker in animal form it would feel slower in human
form because the animal form is its birt form.

ok maybe i got sligtlhy OT here ;)
