he is a shapeshifter!! the number next to his forms is how many of those he turns into at the same time!! i prefer for his ref to be closely followed when drawing him and have the exact number that matches the forms, but anything over 10 can just be drawn as 15.
consider faving him on toyhouse!! https://toyhou.se/3712028.john

ooo you don't see many shapeshifter characters like this, it's a cool way to preserve the character's mass when changing forms +o+
