Zaka's some kind of weird alien dude that can shape shift and the whole shape shifting process involves these weird amniotic sac kinda things
they usually split on their own but sometimes they won't and it could lead to some p dangerous situations like suffocation, so he likes to keep someone around him
but also because he's a huge baby who likes the company
and he can mimic a bunch of sounds
i got super lazy cause the stripe things are suppose to go all the way up his back and down his tail but shrug
