GOBLIN TRANSFORMATION
Methos is fully transformed! Unless he decides to go buy himself some new appendages or something, idk.

Body
Transformation stole nearly half his height! Very rude, Fog. He's down from 6'0/183cm to about 3'6"/107cm. He's also developed a rather fetching tint of blue. Think less "blueberry" and more "edgy lighting from the original movie."

While he has gotten much shorter, he's no stouter than he used to be; together with his reduction in height, he's quite lean and lanky, which results overall in looking even smaller than he is.

Face/Head
Methos' nose has sharpened and elongated, as have his ears and teeth. From the base of his nostrils to the very tip of his nose, it's about 2"/5cm, and his ears have gained about twice that, although they are mostly swept tightly back against the side of his head rather than protruding. His teeth are not noticeably longer than they were (and it's hard to tell anyway, since all of him has shrunk) but now quite sharp.

His hair has blued along with the rest of him, so that it's now a very dark navy color, and he's starting to let it grow out. Still in the shaggy stage, though, rather than truly long.

There are two broad sweeps of short, fleshy spikes, darker than the rest of his skin but lighter than his hair, that begin at the outer corners of his eyebrows and sweep in a tapering form to the sides of his head, moving up into his hair. These are a major reason why he's not keeping his hair cut short! It hurts to find them by accident with scissors or clippers. They bleed :(

Methos' eyes have remained just the same as they were; a dark, mossy green.

Torso & Wings
There are spikes on Methos' upper arms -- a large cluster on the outside of his shoulder, trailing down to another smaller cluster on his elbow. Normally, these spikes are relaxed and lie mostly flat against his skin, but they'll occasionally stand up -- usually when he's angry, scared, or drawing heavily on his magic. He can also tense up and stand them up deliberately when he wants to be extra pointy.

His wings, such as they are, are more glide surfaces than anything else. Flat, bony protrusions with a limited degree of flexibility help him to ride the winds in greatest comfort.

Other
He has claws rather than normal fingernails and toenails, but they're not terribly long and he typically keeps them filed blunt so as not to interfere with normal life. Why worry about being able to use claws when you've got magic?

He typically dresses one of two ways -- either he's at work at the clinic and trying to look reasonably respectable, or he's off the clock and wearing ridiculously baggy clothes that make him look even smaller. He typically keeps a long slit in the back of his shirts and sweaters so that at need, he can get his wings free.

Fog Form
In a nutshell: EVERYTHING GETS POINTY.

Methos' nose, ears, and teeth elongate; the spikes on his head grow to about 5"/13cm long. The soft, usually flat-lying spikes on his shoulders and elbows spread and harden, so that he has a consistent line of upright spikes on the outside of his arms running from shoulder to wrist. Rather like wings, really, but bad for flying and good for stabbing.

His voice, typically low, becomes shrill and piercing, and his laugh turns into a clattering, discordant jangle. Imagine throwing Satan's own windchimes down a flight of stairs.

His eyes develop a blue-white glow reminiscent of St Elmo's Fire.

TEMPORARY KELPIE FORM
PLAGA'S PEAK HALLOWEEN EVENT
Physical Changes Methos' temporary kelpie form is based off the Akhal-Teke horse, with a coat that is as shimmery as the link, but has a very greenish-yellow tint. His feet end in hooves, and his hair has become a mane of eelgrass that grows from his scalp down to just below his shoulderblades in a thin strip down his spine. In human form, his skin has a greenish tone that seems to shimmer liquidly depending on the angle of the light. It's very elusive. He has grown about 8" taller than normal, and lost significant weight; he looks starved.
Mental Changes Methos is jumpier than usual, easy to startle, and his instinct to retreat from danger is magnified.
