It doesn't matter how cold and slimy it is; if your species evolved on a highly specialized diet of mollusks and shellfish, your brain is going to release a lot of endorphins when you put some in your mouth. As far as you're concerned, cold and slimy and bitter is just wonderful!
Perfectly natural.

If you're going to put him to sleep, please tell the trade master about the situation you now believe in and that negotiations are on hold at the moment. Also tell him that you're training him now. Though aren't sleep cycles pretty short or will Kass still have to sleep for like an entire day to catch up on the sleep he missed?
Awwww... I feel so sorry for him (her?). I hope they begin to like their new life... :\
I really like this page. I didn't notice it in the previous pages, but the bell around their neck really shows the quick erratic movements as they are freaking out by ringing with each movement.

Of everything going on in this page, the tiny notes of the bell jingle sets this scene over the top. We're exploring a lot of things above and below the surface in Yinglet society and in Kass' psyche, but the physicality of her situation is still calling attention to itself in the form of that bell.
Aw man, thanks! I did actually post a version without it at first, but in the end I just had to include that little detail. And I'm glad I did, seeing as how many people are commenting about it!
So on that note, thanks for elaborating on why it stuck out to you. It can be easy to assume that the readers will fill in the blanks themselves when writing/drawing a comic page, as I'm sure you're well aware of!
So yeah, I'm definitely gonna try to help more details like that stand out in future pages.

Yay more details!
I love to learn about the Yinglets and their world they live in. I tend to learn all I can about a fictional world then extrapolate the rest of the world that hasn't been written (drawn?) yet and explore it in my head.
I like to put my Sona into your world and guess how the Yinglets and other species would think of a dragon among them, also exactly how Sky would help the Yinglets develop their knowledge and skills while letting them develop their own culture.
I did something similar while reading though the Eragon novel series. and another OLD series on FA called Planet of the Raptors.

When I was young, I hated mustard. Ketchup was awesome. Now I prefer the bitter tang of mustard over the sweetness of ketchup. Tastes change. And the day that I tried mustard again after hating it for literally all my life, and found I liked it after all, was kind of mindblowing.
In short, his suddenly liking what he always despised is really no big deal - but I can understand why he feels it is.

But mine changed in a single moment, too. maybe if I was eating mustard a lot, and gradually getting used to it, then liking it, I'd call it a gradual change. But it was more a case of friends insisting I try it on my fries, and finding it tasty despite my expectations. I hadn't had mustard in years, so to me it was sudden.
It was NOT, however, associated with a sudden change in species or gender. Dammit.

Ah, I’ve tried fresh oysters before. It was different, like a gritty salty wad of chewing gum. But Yinglets are silly little critters I can see how it might be to their liking. Interesting to see a demonstration of the Yinglet’s natural feeding habits and that shell tooth in action. With each new page a new bit of information is revealed to us. and in a natural feeling way for it to be introduced rather than just being thrown for the sake of the readers. Indeed a bristled tongue would be good for getting a hold of those slippery mollusks. Are the bristles like the rough tongue of a feline or are they more like actual hardened barbs? Also I am curious about Yinglet naming doctrine, do they take names that descriptive like a Yinglet named Zippy would be energetic, and Sparky would be fire obsessed? Or do they just mash words together that they think sounds cool?
You’ve really created something special with this world and these adorable little ratbirds. I find myself becoming obsessed myself with them, and checking back daily to see anything new had been added.
Excellent! Let that obsession stew... it means I'm doing something right.
And yeah, I wanted to demonstrate how their shellteeth work in-comic, as it's a pretty prominent part of their design.
As for the other questions, they have tiny semi-hard bumps on the end, which fill with blood and expand after they've smacked into some soft shellfish meat, which allows them to pull them down their throats. They don't chew 'em, just swallow things whole like many types of lizard/bird. And the names... some enclaves has specific naming conventions, but generally they just go with whatever pops into their heads. Being only a few generations old, their society has yet to really establish any "traditional" names.
