OK simple enough question. As stated in the SR4 rules (SR4 p. 297) lesser Dragons (Non-Greats) must use magic to assume Metahuman form. Assuming (for the GMs sake) that this is accomplished via the shapechange spell (i think i did read that somewhere, can't remember where though) How in the heck do they pull off a human form?(Or anything less than a Troll for that matter) A Dragon has a body of 12-15(per SR4 p. 296-297), and a human has a body of 1-6. There are multiple examples of this in canon (i.e the Dragons Damon and Perianwyr described in Running Wild p. 77 and Dragons of the Sixth World pgs. 160-161 and 169-171 respectfully) whose forms come nowhere close to having a high enough body for the spell.

Some clarification would be very helpful.
