Rakshasas natural shapes are relatively humanoid although they are clearly not human, as they have the heads of beasts -- usually tigers, but sometimes apes, crocodiles, mantises, or other creatures. Their hands also look disturbing to most humans, as their palms are where the back of the hands would be in humans. The Rakshasa are capable of hiding their disturbing appearance at any time, as they can choose any humanoid form at will.
