I wasn’t sure how to humanize a barnacle, but then I thought if I were an intelligent barnacle, I’d probably just stick myself onto a friend (in this case a totem green sea turtle) and mooch off them for all the hard work. These two live in the Florida Keys.

Instead of a devil and angel on her shoulder giving her advice, it’s just a weird crustacean.
Do greek sirens exists in skin deep? If so, are they part bird, part fish, or both? Are they perhaps simply harpies, misinterpreted by humans?
This is such a cool concept! Makes me think of other wacky symbiotic/mutualistic/parasitic combos. Totem version of that worm that eats fish tongues and replaces them would be pretty nightmarish!
Awhile back traumatic turnings were mentioned. How traumatic does the event have to be to trigger a turning? Would falling off a cliff trigger an unturned human turning to a winged lion sans medallion? Or could just stress do it, i.e., someone is so overwhelmed at a bad retail job they spontaneously awaken as a bugbear?
I like to imagine a stressed-out unturned bugbear’s most obnoxious coworkers would have bad luck during their shared shifts. Not malice on the bugbear’s part; just “I think my workplace might be haunted” falls under the “if it’s scary, bugbear can do it” category and is weak enough that it might could happen without conscious effort.
So when Michelle turned, she unintentionally teleported into the woods right? Is accidental magic something that occurs frequently with magically-inclined species turnings?
Strong Thelma and Louise vibes.
This is the Barb and Star fan remake I didn’t know I needed.
