Of course right after I've gotten used to one form, here I am in an entirely different one in no time. But, well, could you blame me? I just so happen to find this weird amulet with a grinning skunk face on it somewhere near something called the Shadowgloop Swamp, I think? And well, I was really curious! It was odd that it seemed to hang real low...at first. A minute later I just started growing out all of a sudden, and not from my own magic for once! That amulet sparkled while it was resting right on my new fat belly, obviously it was enchanted... Alongside that came with a lot more changes and before I could blink a few times I changed into this weird squeaky skunk creature! Soon after this weird wisp or ghost suddenly appeared, with a massive grin on his face...

So apparently this guy is named Raz, and he's, or rather was, something called a Bloatling, these creatures that have a thing for bloating up (hence the name) and doing real teasy tricks on others! They even got a venomous bite to do just that (which I get the feeling they aren't themselves immune to, with how Raz giggles and widely grins whenever I get curious with trying it myself) and they can even, ah, "pudgevore" others to hold 'em inside. Another thing they like to do is, ah, impart "Bloatling traits" to others through a variety of means.

Which is what happened to me, and apparently this "Wontoon" fella in the past. All thanks to this amulet which--h-hey, the face on it changed, it that supposed to be ME grinning now?! Huff! A-Anyway, it looks like I can't get it off, like any other cursed accessory...at least I still possibly have my genie magic! This is just gonna take some time to adjust...

Long flavor text aside, I went at this absolutely spontaneously and inspired by WontoonRoo's work and lore! He always seems to have something intensely fun up his sleeve that he's been developing and he's a main inspiration to my work and progress! I just was in the sudden mood to draw something up working off some of his work and, well...it had been a bit since the toon's gone all skunky from that particular artifact and so I juuuust wondered and asked him, "Hey, there wouldn't be any spares of that amulet anywhere, would it?"

You can imagine what kind of answer put this into being! Long story short I just fully went in on this immediately after, constantly going back and forth with Won to see if I'm getting my lore right and if it sounds fitting to something that would happen! I'm kinda really proud to have created this, it was intensely fun. X3
