Shows its true Shapeshifter form only on the camera feed. In person it looks completely normal all the way up until it reaches check-in.
Use the lobby camera to catch this one from the side before it ever reaches your window — by the time it's standing in front of you looking ordinary, the CCTV check is the only thing that would have caught it. This is functionally the Shapeshifter's camera-only disguise mode, not a separate creature.
The specific recovery outcome for this anomaly hasn't been documented by the community yet — we only publish what's confirmed. What is confirmed: letting an anomaly in usually triggers a Death Ritual, spawns a monster, or turns the patient into a Shapeshifter. A wrong treatment kills an anomaly with no penalty to you (it just lowers your end-of-shift reward), and tasing or shooting a confirmed anomaly nets +2 sanity. Tasing or shooting a normal animal by mistake costs −15 sanity — when in doubt, shutting the window is always the safe move.

The specific recovery outcome for this anomaly isn't documented by the community yet. Treat any confirmed anomaly the same way regardless: a wrong treatment kills them with no penalty to you but lowers your end-of-shift reward, and tasing or shooting a confirmed anomaly gives +2 sanity. When in doubt, shutting the window is always safe.
