Once he thought he'd done about enough, he tightened his jaw back into place.. although all of the other spikes and aesthetic features remained where they were. He supposed he'd be living with them for a while. Annoyingly, though, the thing didn't seem very intimidated by the show. If anything, once again, it began imitating what he'd done mere moments ago. Pfft. I wonder if this thing is a distant relative of the parrot. It certainly acts like it is. Although, a reptile being related to a bird.. outrageous. It still didn't discourage the evidence slowly piling up against this arm-less, leg-less creature that more or less had a head with a tail grafted to its neck-stump. This thing, that would almost be comical to watch, if not for all the annoying hissing noises that it kept making, and those weird fangs that it possessed but never even bothered to use.
Perhaps they were like a bee-sting. They could only be used and then the thing would die. Or maybe, they weren't even useful. They were just there for show - to make it look more intimidating than it actually was. Which was a toothless, limbless lizard with little use other than for amusement and being locked inside a metal cage to be laughed at. Or at least, that was what he thought, before it reared back and prepared itself.. but then, it changed. Not really in the same way as he did, because admittedly, he could change into whatever shape he wished. However, this thing could definitely change. Its arms began to push out of its tail - first lumpy and useless, but then it began to tighten and develop into actual fingers and hands. Along with that, the rest of its upper body began shifting.. growing shoulders, a chest.. an actual torso. It didn't change its head, oddly.. and when it hissed, it just kept on making those stupid hissing noises.
But it certainly looked a little more human than it did before. If anything, the crude parody just enraged and.. utterly disgusted the Pycon. After all, he'd seen things that could change their bodies.. like the Kelvics. Things that he weren't really sure if they were simply animals that could take on human forms, or humans that could take on animal forms. Eventually, he came to accept them as simple half-humans, like most of the other humans did. However this... this wasn't even human. Not even remotely human. This was just some Valterrian monstrosity that was the result of a failed experiment.. a terrible mutation.. heck, he'd settle for a crime against life. Something that by all rights, shouldn't exist. He didn't know whether it'd be more humane to just put it out of its misery, or leave it alive so that future generations could gawk at it and see the wonders that had become of their lives thanks to the Valterrian.
Funnily enough.. the thing took on what looked to be a fighting stance. Although that couldn't possibly be right.. because that would mean this thing was sentient. Or at least, somewhat intellectual, beyond that of a simple beast. Perhaps it had learned it somewhere, and was imitating what it'd seen before.. he couldn't be sure. But he knew that this thing was really starting to get on his nerves. "God, you are really one disgusting piece of shyke." Oh well. He soon dropped down to all-fours, braced himself.. and broke into a full sprint for the thing. If he could get it with all of his weight, he could probably stun it, or knock it over if he managed to get a decent attack on its midsection or on its new torso. "Now, I'm getting tired of this shyke. Are you going to surrender, or am I going to have to kick you in the chin with my tail again, huh?" For some reason, he was pretty confident that he'd already know the answer to his own question.
