Werehog Forms: Kittyface
And just like that, another werehog form! It's Silver's turn.
Yeah yeah, right after poo-pooing the fluffy fang-y werehog standard, and then I turn around and make a super-floofy one. I'm horrible like that.
I do have reason, though! Using the "were-form brings out repressed side" we see that Silver is usually a very timid, self-conscious guy. So his Were-form would make him vicious and impulsive. A predatory animal fits that well. And coupled with his near-constant toughts of blaze, it seems likely he might come out as a cat ( And I loooove snow leopard tails). You can see his powers were affected by his thoughts of Blaze, too.
That makes sense, right...?
Okay fine I just really like snow leopards and Silver as a cat would be hilariously awkward.
