When Chris pulled the cork out of the test-tube-like bottle, he was hit by a strange aroma. Something akin to maple syrup in a forest. The little fox gave the watery drink a skeptical look, but shrugged and downed the contents.

Sure enough, the thin liquid was incredibly sweet with just the hint of a leafy aftertaste. It had just the vaguest hint of a taste that was like pancakes on a campground stove. The taste made him pucker his mouth fiercely. ...Which was an odd reaction. Isn't it normally SOUR tastes that cause one's mouth to pucker?

But his mouth would not stop. It kept puckering further and further. And suddenly he felt like something was jammed inside of his mouth. I couldn't close his jaw for the life of him around what felt like a kind of massive, bumpy jawbreaker.

Dropping to his knees and fearing suffocation, Chris hardly even noticed that his puckered lips had fused and stretched away from his face. He didn't notice his loss in height or the leafy brush that appeared between his ears on top of his head. All he could think about was freeing his mouth and breathing again.

Chris heaved and heaved and heaved until finally he spat out what appeared to be a giant sort of peach pit. It clattered into pieces against the nearby wall and Chris breathed freely again. Finally able to do so, he was able to notice the changes his body had gone through. He picked up the empty potion bottle and gave it an embarrassed sort of look.

Then again, he supposed this wasn't a terrible fate after all.

Thank you everyone who stopped by for the art stream when I drew this! I had to fix it up a tad before I could upload it, but I'm reasonably happy with it.

So, I've done a zora and I've done a deku scrub. Could this mean... maybe... will I possibly be doing a GORON for this as well?

*GASP!*

No, I won't. Because I don't like gorons. I think they look ugly and boring. Which is probably because they're ugly and boring.
