"I don't want to be a stationary species, and becoming an arachnoid is out of the question, at least until I stop thinking of that centipede beast. I won't be some short live cat folk, leaving poisonous frog people as my only option. An option I think suits me. System, Make me a Larv."

And thus, he became a Larv. He soon realized that his body was not at all froglike. It was similar to that of a stereotypical lizard man, if you stripped away the scales and put an Amphibians skin above it. As he wondered how he was going to consume nutrients, he realized small frills in his skin.

"System, they live under water, right? Get me... that handycap."

"Now, I have a weight of 34 kg, and not enough glide skin to properly fly with it... system, I am already incapable of touching sunlight, as it evaporates the protective skin. Can you explain that procedure to me?"

The Larv have a venom coated skin, and need the mucus they secrete to continue breathing. The mucus grows by one centimetre per hour spend in water, each of wich would normally last for two hours outside the water, where it continually flakes off and poisons the environment.

The desert heat burns up to four layers every hour, depending on the time spend in the light. Growing more than eight layers makes it hard for the Larv to see or move, as their fins and glide skins stiffen.

"So... I am basically a blob of poison that dries once it stops touching water, putting me as the center of a venomous cloud? And how exactly do I eat without a mouth, and how am I talking right now?"

It took him a while to figure it out, but once he realized how to utilize the frills it came naturally. Vibrate them to produce sound, open them to filter the nutrients out of the mucus. Until he cleansed the mucus in this way, it would grow continuously more toxic.

"Great... now I need to adjust to assimilating food, but that should be ok."

As he closed the frills, his skin returned to the perfectly smooth surface he saw first, though he felt himself suffocate until he reopened them.

"Can you make my venom into some type of undead shroom or something?"
