detailed changes

✨ = completed change
✧ = incomplete change


First Changes (March 1)
    Bio Luminescence. Bio luminescent markings appeared on Jataro's face, though it's impossible to tell what they are thanks to his mask. They glow faintly out the eye and mouth holes of the mask.
    Thirst. Jataro experiences heightened thirst and drinks water often, when able to. He'll also enjoy snow, icicles and shaved ice if the options are available to him.
    Cold Weather Preference. Jataro loves the cold weather and is mostly unaffected by it, no matter how much skin is exposed. He will eventually become too cold, however, and seek shelter so he can warm back up.
    Teeth. Fog boon; March 3rd. Pushing out his human teeth one by one, they were replaced by a new set of teeth similar to those of an otter.

Second Changes (March 17)
    Carapace. A white and pastel colored carapace has begun growing underneath his skin, causing him to itch in some areas. His skin needs to actively be scratched off to reveal it.
    Back fins. Two electric blue fins sprouted on his back, over his shoulder blades. Their shape vaguely resemble a swallowtail butterfly's wings, though they are very, very small right now. Maybe now more than an inch or so long.
    Gills. Gills appear on either side of his neck, allowing him to breathe underwater with ease.
    Pleopods. Small, electric blue fin-like appendages growing on his arms and legs. There are five on the side of each forearm and calf.
    Tail fin. An electric blue, fain-shaped tail fin resembling the tail fin of a lobster grew out of the base of his spine.
    Hoarding instinct. Jataro has the instinct to hoard particularly shiny objects (many of which he mugs human adults for) and store them underwater. "Underwater" is currently their bathtub when he can get away with it.
    Water powers. He has the ability to conjure and control water at whim.

Third Changes (May 10)
    More carapace. More of his carapace is growing in, causing him to itch and scratch until it's free of his skin.
    Antifreeze blood. His body is beginning to adapt and change to allow for antifreeze blood, specifically icefish blood. Meaning it will begin to lose hemoglobin and his body will adapt to make up for the loss of oxygen.
    - This can cause dizziness and lightheaded-ness at times where his body overcompensates too quickly and causes him to absorb a little more oxygen than needed.
    - His lungs, arteries, heart and vein will change and grow to allow more oxygen to exist in his system than before, causing minor aches and pains.
    - He will also experience aches and pains from his muscles and tissue changing their make up, allowing them to more easily absorb oxygen.

    Webbing between fingers and toes. Along with two lobster like toes on each foot tearing through his feet and replacing his human toes, he grows webbing between his fingers and these new toes.
    Water pressure resistance. Jataro is now able to resist water pressure no matter how deep he goes.

Fourth Changes (June; various times)
    Second set of arms. Fog Boon. Just under his first set of arms, a second, full set of human arms will grow.
    More carapace. Carapace will begin showing up over his back and shoulders, as well as the upper arms of both sets of arms.
    Antifreeze blood. Symptoms caused by his body changing to accommodate the new blood type become more obvious and severe.
    Fins behind ears. Similar to his tail fin, the fins behind his ears are fan shaped and electric blue as well.
    Tail while in water. In deep enough water (tub water, or constant rain water), his legs will fuse together and change to form the tail of a rock lobster. He possesses five sets of segmented legs allowing him to scuttle around on land or the floor underwater if he needs to, as well as hold onto victims better while drowning them.
    Sharpened senses while in water. Being underwater doesn't hinder any of his senses the way it might a human or other monster, allowing him to see and hear just as clearly as he can on land.
    Hunger for human energy. Jataro will begin craving human energy, obtaining this by drowning his victims.
    More bioluminescence. Bioluminescence will begin to appear along the edges of his fins, glowing a bright blue.
    Soothing singing voice. Jataro is able to charm humans with a song, luring them to him or after him as long as he's singing.
    Retractable claws. On both sets of hands he has a pair of retractable claws. These are thing, razor sharp, and translucent, with an opalescent shimmer in the right light.
    Poisonous claws. His retractable claws are also poisonous, able to cause great pain and paralysis in humans that are scratched with them.

Fifth Changes (??)
