The shape shifter also called the author a six-fingered nerd who hasn't been himself in 30 years. I have a theory that OMG probably captured many of the creatures in the journals and studied them for a long time allowing him to create life like portraits of them and detailed summaries of their abilities and weaknesses but some that were too dangerous had to be cryogenically frozen so they would not escape and wreak havoc on gravity falls, like the shape-shifter for example.
