Due in part to their intensely solitary nature and their choice to live mostly in isolation, to members of the other sapient species,  shapeshifters are mysterious, hard to read, and utterly alien in their behavior. They don't act in a way that the other sapient species find easy to understand or relate to, which in turn adds to the vast gulf between their respective cultures. While a few rare shapeshifters seek out the comforts of civilization, it's unusual and those who do are roughly equal in numbers with those who feel a closer kinship to their animalistic side and live mostly in the company of wild creatures.

When they do choose to make their presence known, shapeshifters are generally given a wide berth borne of equal parts respect and apprehension. Most people find them unnerving due to their animalistic mannerisms and exreme knack for observation. They're known to be independent and intensely self-sufficient, talented hunters and craftsmen well-capable of living in the wilderness even without their innate abilties; those same abilities are the subject of fear for some and envy for others. Shapeshifters are very much the other, and while they resemble the other sapient species superficially it's rare that anyone forgets that they only wear the trappings of civilization when it suits them.
