Scale 0: rabbit, weasel, skunk, house cat, hawk, crow, turtle, rattlesnake, duck

Every negative shift gives the animal Weapon -1 and Armor -1; in other words, it inflicts less damage with and takes more damage from physical attacks.

Every positive shift increases the animal's Weapon and Armor values. An innate value of 0 becomes Scale; anything higher is multiplied by twice Scale. For example, a cougar (Scale +2) would normally have Weapon 1 (claws) and Armor 0; this becomes Weapon 4 and Armor 2 from a rabbit's perspective.
