Official Ruling
If 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.
WWizards of the Coast2004-10-04
Official Ruling
If 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.
WWizards of the Coast2004-10-04
Official Ruling
If 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.

Official Ruling
A copy of a Volrath's Shapeshifter will have the shapeshifting ability.
WWizards of the Coast2004-10-04
Official Ruling
When it changes forms, any "enters" abilities of the card it "copies" do not trigger.
WWizards of the Coast2008-08-01
Official Ruling
The ability that sets its characteristics is a text-changing effect.
