An obsidian carapace of banded armour, unchanging, wearing a fringe of eighteen appendages that each change species on their own schedule. Each is one blade under seven interpolated numbers, so it morphs by deforming, not cross-fading, through four keratin forms: overlapping scale, serrated mandible, sickle talon, needle quill. Bass armours the fringe into a pangolin, treble strips it to a porcupine, and the change sweeps head to tail one edge at a time. Rests as the mandible form.
