Ah, sorry. I misread Cytoshape - it turns a creature into a copy of another, not creates a token which is a copy.
even if it were the case, tokens dying do trigger "hits the yard" effects.
110.5e A token that’s phased out, or that’s in a zone other than the battlefield, ceases to exist. This is a state-based action; see rule 704. (Note that if a token changes zones, applicable triggered abilities will trigger before the token ceases to exist.)
