I meant that assuming a human form solely for the purposes of not breaking human rules (No Dogs Allowed) would be dissonant. Assuming a human form to communicate with humans might be alright, but it's still probably dissonant to do so with any manner of social grace. Nakedness would seem to be appropriate in this case. More sophisticated interactions with humans ought to be done through other angles, or soldiers as intermediaries.

EDIT:
A simple solution would be to steal the concept of Werewolf's monkey puzzle as a Servitor Attunement

Something like:
Monkey Mask
Regardless of your vessels actual species you can trick humans into perceiving you as a Human of an appropriate manner of dress and appearence. [Some game mechanics involving Perception here, I think].
