Rulings

datetext
2004-10-04A copy of a Volrath's Shapeshifter will have the shapeshifting ability.
2004-10-04If the top card in the graveyard has any other undefined characteristics, then those characteristics are not acquired and the shapeshifter uses the characteristic from its own card.
2004-10-04If the top card in your graveyard is a creature card, this card uses the listed characteristics, including color and any other types. But, this card keeps the granted ability in addition to those from the card being copied.
2004-10-04If the top card in your graveyard isn't a creature card (meaning a card with the type Creature, which may or may not have other types such as Artifact or Enchantment), then it's just a 0/1 blue creature. Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.
2004-10-04When it changes forms, any "enters" abilities of the card it "copies" do not trigger.
2008-08-01The ability that sets its characteristics is a text-changing effect.
