was playing with creatures in my universe and always like this guy, the forest troll. and I wanted to make a series of how my OC Max would look as different creatures. in this world, shifters dont look exactly like the animals (only in extremely rare almost mythical instances). they essentially look like themselves in animal form lol. so with max, they tend to retain their golden coat, which is the color of their hair. but skin and eye color will fluctuate
