Depends, all kinds of forms which suits certain sentient beings best. See Lotus Sutra 25, chapter on avalokitesvara

Bodhisattvas can manifest or take form of anything in order so ease the suffering of sentient beings.
Like Avalokiteshvara Buddha, he who is Buddha emanates as a Bodhisattva to save sentient beings from suffering and lead them to the path of Buddha-hood.
