Talk:Bowser VS Shendu/@comment-30408599-20180526144446/@comment-974403-20180528212213

Shendu kept his powers as a rabbit because they were specifically from the talismans. And even as a rabbit, the talismans were still within him. If they stopped functioning when transformed, then if he ever changed himself, he'd be unable to turn back.

However, on every other occasion of the monkey talisman's uses, the victim and/or user has been unable to access any latent abilities unless said abilities requires outside equipment.
