Although Harm and his siblings are usually all biped anthros (and his husband Vojek as well), thanks to Harm's magic they aren't limited to that form. And with much experimenting, each of them found their favourite alternative form.

Harm is very fond of the long neck dragon taur form. This form makes him enormous and strong, and allows him to explore large swathes of land. But moreover, his large body is also a conduit for magic, allowing him to cast more powerful spells. However, this form is only practical outdoors, in rural areas, where he has enough space around him, and it doesn't allow him to get close to any Wellsprings, which are usually located inside buildings or even underground.

Vojek still prefers his hand-taur form, as he's very familiar with the form during his youth on Atlantis. He has spent a lot of time in this form at his Mechalocheri foster family, who took him in after his parents unfortunate fatal trip to their home planet Carbin. Even though he's technically an alien, he feels a close bond to the Mechalocheri community, and this form is a reminder that he belongs to Earth.

Roel prefers to stay "normal", but if there is one form he had to pick over any other form, it would be a four-armed naga. The long tail makes him feel one with the earth below him, more than his hard hooves ever could, and the extra pair of arms he finds quite practical, without becoming too confusing for his mind to handle (which is why he picks a form without legs, so he doesn't have to spend any mental effort on that). He has rarely taken on this form or any other alternative form, though.

Lotte has always felt that she's a taur soul trapped inside a biped body. She hangs out with a lot of taur friends and has a deep desire to become one. Eventually, Harm's magic helps her to try out the form temporarily, and see how she likes it, though she made a deal with her parents that she can't make the change permanent until she's 18, in case she may have regrets. It took time for her to get used to the form, but eventually, she feels very comfortable in this form.
