Obake's appearance.

[Pizza Cat]

Since the Obake is a shapeshifter, does it change ghost models with every appearance or hunt? If not then it totally should.

It should take a player model to trick you :D

[VanillaLucia]

It does not but I chalked it up to "flavor text" like many other ghosts have in some way because it would be too obvious to see otherwise in a way the developers likely do not want until other ghosts too can do something as a potential ghost event or interaction.

It currently doesn't do that. It does leave behind a hand print that has 6 fingers on occasion, but nothing in the game changes models. I do agree it'd be cool, but probably too easy to spot.

Confirmed by the devs that it looks like every other ghost.

Specifically: "we couldn't do anything too obvious because it would make identifying it too easy."

So the shapeshifter description is only about the fingerprints and is mostly just fluff.

they should do it anyway

Agree.

Wouldn't be the first ghost that can be identified by one key event anyway.
