Shadow Generations inspired me to make more forms for my other ultimate lifeform, Shred the Dragon.
As Experiment B, aka Project: Beast. Shred was a backup incase Shadow didn't survive creation and vise versa. But she was made differently if alternative routes in creation could result in Maria's cure. Part of which was the multitude of animal dna traits in Shred's genetic code, adding Wisp dna to stabilize it, and of course like Shadow is mainly black arms.
Shred's wisp side is what gives her the bright magenta color of her skin. In Shadow Generations, she like him would gain new abilities focusing on her black arm trait. Shred usually forsakes her black arm heritage, not wanting to be compared with monsters. But over the course of this adventure she comes to terms with using her black arm powers for good, instead of their intended evil. In these new forms, her black arm side is enhanced. Overcoming her wisp side, her colors darken and fade to near black.
The black arm forms Shred gets focus on her individual traits. As the ultimate beast, who could track and hunt down anyone or anything. In her basic form she's a fast runner, skilled flyer, great swimmer, and is incredibly strong. But her new forms center on a single one of those, temporarily sacrificing her quantity of skills for quality. In any of them though she still has her fire breath. All forms make her larger then she usually is.
Shred's Black Arm Forms:
Black Berserker, muscular form.
Black Sprinter, quadruped running form.
Black Skimmer, no legged, all finned form.
and Black Wyvern, form focused for flying.
The Black Berserker resembles her to the Black Oak soldiers, hulking, large, and muscular. Shred couldn't fly in this form even if she wanted too, it's too heavy. Instead she can sprout from her back at will, wing-like bone appendages. Used for multitask fighting, grounding herself, and other uses. They aren't always out though, only when she needs them can she grow and retract them. Shred's berserker form is likely ever stronger than her weredrake form. I also related it to Eclipse the Darkling's muscular form.
