A little-known fact about igwulves is that they have their own set of alchemical-based arts. While these arts can be used for anything from making their daily village chores easier, to enhancing the strength of their weapons, one particular category of the art can have some very...curious...effects: organic transmutation, or the ability to 'edit' the shape or composition of a living creature. Reed was hardly an alchemist, but he indeed knew of the arts, and knew of an igwulf who practiced them...

The fuzzy red igwulf wanted to try a bit of an 'experiment', and the alchemist obliged, using a mix of this and a concoction of that, performing techniques kept only within igwulf circles... Soon, Reed left the alchemist's home with a new sense of strength and awareness...in his tail, of all places! Yes, the humble igwulf tail - long, large, fuzzy, and even normally quite impressive, the prehensile appendage ably assisted igwulves in their ability to climb trees, as well as allowing for an acute sense of balance. Reed had enhanced his natural tail-strength, as well as gained a certain 'other' ability... Now, he just needed somebody to try it out on!

Fortunate indeed that upon walking home through the dusk-fallen forest, Reed spotted the familiar glow of an old friend. Charem the Charmeleon was travelling as well, it seemed, and he greeted his friend cordially...though with a hidden intent. The orange reptile didn't seem to mind at all as the igwulf gave him an affectionate tail-wrap; it was something that Reed often did in place of a more 'normal' hug, after all. Of course, the Charmeleon was a bit more confused when the wrap became a tight coil, and was downright surprised when Reed's tail-end parted into two wide, green, drooling jaws!

Reed released the coil just as soon as the salviating tail-maw glomped down over the Pokemon's head. The igwulf purrled in delight to the foreign but desireable sensations as he moved his tail forward, the strange new tail-muscles easily gulping the chubby reptile inwards.

Charem was quite bewildered - his friend was vorish, sure, but THIS has never happened before! He could feel Reed's paws prodding against the outside of the now-bulging tail as the igwulf repositioned, laying atop his tail. Reed obviously was enjoying the unusual meal, and mraaa'd happily as the Pokemon squirmed from under him...

The Charmeleon's flailing tail was of course last to be consumed by Reed's own, much more voracious, appendage. The igwulf gasped in the experience as his Poke'meal moved deeper and deeper through his long tail, blushing as Charem channeled into a strange connection point above his rump, before a more familiar filling was felt... Reed rubbed his gut as the firelizard was crammed into it from a new direction, grinning widely to himself as he pondered just how perfect the alchemist had designed this new 'route' of his.

Charem meep'd and wriggled in the larger space he now took up. He knew this place...the igwulf's gut was hardly unfamiliar to him. But getting into it this way was...very, very strange! One thing he knew for certain... From now on, he was gonna have to be wary of BOTH ends of his fuzzy friend!

This was an awesome commission done by the also-awesome   Kitsune-Kajiru, whose talents never fail to impress me. :3~ I think he did a pretty dang good job drawing my wonderful friend   emusal/Reed, as well!

Reed is quite voracious, but normally only consumes via his maw. =3 I suggested to Reed that his big tail would make for a wonderful 'secondary route' to his belly, and we discussed how such a thing as tail vore - something igwulves can normally never do - could be possible. Reed pointed out that alchemy is an art some igwulves practice, and that changes to one's physical structure would be possible to some degree using such arts...so we ran with that! <=3
