# Obsidian Sentinel

A glossy obsidian insectoid sentinel on a segmented near-black core that never changes, its limbs each changing species on their own schedule. Each limb is one tapered spike under six interpolated numbers, so it morphs by deforming, not cross-fading, through four forms: armour paddle, serrated limb, barbed sickle, hair needle. Bass armours the sentinel, treble strips it to needles, and the change sweeps limb by limb. Rests as the serrated limb.
