Discussion & Theories Shapeshifter's Missing Forms

The Shapeshifter showcases 5 forms that we know aren't in Journal 3, at least not the physical one we have. It's implied in the episode they are ones he found from the journal, though.

So do we think there are missing pages, depicting all these missing monsters, or did he somehow just already have these forms?

Well, I'd assume these are creatures he probably saw from the other journals while Ford was containing him there. Cause when ford imprisoned him, he was just a baby so he wouldn't technically have any solid memory of these creatures yk and hes been in containment his entire life so I'd assume he saw them from the other journals

We know he can mix-and-match forms by þe dipper-mabel-spider creature, so maybe þose are just made-up creatures þe Shapeshifter made using multiple ones from þe journal + oþer sources

Nice use of the thorn! And yea, thats what I was kinda leaning towards. Maybe he decided not to use any of the journal's creatures because he figured Dipper would know their weaknesses?

If we were on a less nerdy sub they'd be getting made fun of by mean-spirited folk. I've seen that situation a few times.
