Hmm so the double tail is the mutation in this case?

the bat has a conjoined twin. There's a second tail, a smaller extra wing, and a tiny extra leg

Oh I see I see

Very interesting to learn more about these bat creatures

Succubats are too cute for this world.

Okay, having completely unique transformations, and based on the bat itself is such a cool addition

Aww, did she lose an eye in the process?

All of these transformations intrigue me.

She has a big chitin buildup on her face that's covering an eye, yes

Interesting.

Very neat.

Wow. You now have a 2 tail kitsune looking succubat. Not a bad change.

very interesting bit of lore there. showing some slight genetic variance (particularly if it covers stuff like small defects) feels like it gives the species more "depth" for a lack of a better term.

I love the asymmetrical chitin on her design

What does a transformation feel like? It always looks pretty painful and I'd imagine it would be but what does the host actually feel? Cool design btw!

They hurt, since during the transformation, the symbiote hasn't had a chance to numb the pain yet, and just it just bit them and grabbed the base of their spine

Iiii can see why that would hurt... so does the pain distract them from everything else happening so they don't feel the chitin plate things forming or their bodies changing? They just look down after that endorphin rush and be like "huh, I guess I went up a few sizes.."

Ok, so, the proper answer for how much it hurts: "It's like realizing the whole universe has robbed you of 25 years of your life, and you never got to be a kid"

But yeah basically it's a harsh sharp pain, and very quickly, the symbiote will kick up endorphins and stuff so the host can get over the pain and be good again.

That was obvious, seeing as how they bind by stabbing those sharp looking legs at the base of their spine and mutate their mass like the American werewolf in London transformation on steroids. . . . . .which probably describes the hulk transformation I was also going to mention. XD I am surprised there is little blood drawn from the back latch, honestly.

Explain the "It's like realizing the whole universe has robbed you of 25 years of your life, and you never got to be a kid" example to me? You mean like for people who did not choose to become this just before the transformation is complete?

"It's like realizing the whole universe has robbed you of 25 years of your life, and you never got to be a kid" is a very transgender feeling. that you never got to be the kid you were supposed to be. you had to pretend to be some other kid.

Ah. An Interesting perspective of becoming a succubat creature, Also I must say I find some amusement seeing their pained expressions, more so the ones hanging out with them. They think "Ah! So cute and adorable and AAAAAAAAH! OH MY GOOOOOD!". They are fortunate the creatures evolved endorphin rushes, other wise those initial thoughts would be replaced by long hours of pain with perhaps regret and tears before it subsided. Something tells me many people do not know how bad it feels to have sharp pained nerves in your spine and do not think about it, only "Oh my gosh! I want to be a succubat", but I suppose the aftermath is worth it.

So does this give both succubats a chance to, well, "be their own," since they each get their own tail? Or is the core of their being still at the spine, not the eyes?

The two eyes were conjoined twins. they are two bats in mind, so they'll have noticeably different personalities. At least, noticeably in the way a cat owner knows their cats

Poor girl...

These things are bad then?

scary..

Why do you think they're bad?

Well, I've seen a couple images where the "recievee" is upset. scared and so on.

Negative reactions from the ones in the image? I am possibly reading too much into it. But it' seems one loses their sense of self, or atleast part of it with the bodily change. They act and do things differently.

So in every sequence, the middle panel where they're changing really hurts, and the third panel is always the bat pumping them up with adrenaline and endorphins so they can get over that pain, and feel good about themselves.

The person changing still has their personality, morals, memories, and all the stuff normally associated with the self.

Is the change permenant? Or are the able to switch between appearance?
Back to their original self appearance?

It is good to know that who they are mentality, thoughts and so on are still there which makes them, them. Aswell as the mostly painless changing

They're mostly stuck that way. Shapeshifters exist, and just treat the succubat form as the new default, and unless actively hiding succubat features when they change, they'll still have those.

What Succubat Symbionts DO have going for them tho, is that they live in a world of furries, and can just like, wear clothes and disguise their tail. Maybe wear makeup/dye their fur. It sucks pretending to be something you're not, but it IS an option.

I'd totally try it out then, Aslong as i can switch back to myself. It's pretty interesting then, But i guess i was a bit concerned with those who cannot change once they have been, Sort of makes me feel they lose their original self. But i'm overthinking it. hah.

Thank you so much for explaining things to me. It really has helped! Peaked my curiousity to see what one would make me look like.
