#etherious form

“I need to kill...father?”

My headcanon of what Larcade’s Etherious form might look like. @keiid’s design is amazing and it motivated me to sketch something too. 

Larcade feels like he’s only an experiment of the real “result” Zeref wanted, and thus his etherious (demon) form is more like a testing/“stitched up” version of what END may be. (i had the image of griffin in mind as I drew; END is a dark dragon-ish demon(?) so a light-griffin demon may be a cool contrast). 

I imagine Larcade doesn’t go into Etherious form even though he will suffer defeat (such as vs kagustingue) because he knows in that form he will want to kill Zeref, whom he considers his father. Larcade would never want to go against his father even if Zeref doesn’t/can’t love him one bit. Now his human form is destroyed, when his book is opened again, Larcade will be in his demon form and is thus struggling whether to kill or not kill Zeref. (this is totally headcanoned, we don’t know what will happen to Natsu and Larcade once the human part is destroy).
