Why would shapeshifters choose to keep an original form?

In any modern story nowadays, shapeshifters always have an original form; Andalites from Animorphs or Mystique from X-men to name a few. It raises the question of why something that can change forms would even bother with an original form. Ignoring the unrealism of a creature evolving the ability to shapeshift, why would a shapeshifter bother having an original form?
