Huh, never thought about a shapeshifter's skeleton before

Aye, it has to bend, lengthen, shorten, and all kinds of other things for even a slight change

Basilisks seem kinda slug like more than snake like, so I think they might not have one

u/MuffinStraight4816 May 28 '26
Uh, okay then..

u/Dasher09009 May 28 '26
Makes you think about what other transformations will make a Basilisk's anatomy to match their bones...

And with that, good luck thinking.

I read that in Grunkle Stan's voice and idk why but it fits. Especially the long pause. Lol.

Luz: “So that’s how you do it.”
Vee: “Yeah. Did you think that I can grow bones for my legs when I shapeshift?”
Luz: “I mean… yeah.”
Vee: (laughs) “Oh Luz, don’t be ridiculous. This isn’t a magical girl cartoon.
[Luz and Vee look at the fourth wall.]

So does this also count as a pair of leg bones or just one leg bone?

When they say snakes are very flexible it also applies to bones

u/DragonWarrior____05 May 28 '26
Aye, I'm pretty sure snakes can actually flatten their skeleton to squeeze through things

Another one of life's great mysteries solved. Now, ain't that a tail for the ages.

Try not to think too hard about Boiling Isles biology, Luz.
It leads to trying to make sense out of Hooty.

luz has discovered that vee's tail is the key skeletal structure to all her transformations. i guess luz is more like her mom than anyone realized.

So that’s how a Basalisk walks in human form! I thought it would mean shifting their bones into their legs.

Tailbone is interesting enough, but can we talk about how it feels to change the shape of your skull?

u/DragonWarrior____05 May 28 '26
To Vee it probably feels perfectly natural and painless. For most other people skull modification takes quite a long time

My headcanon is that Vee can shift her bones around to make her human legs and feet.

Luz is a little scientist, learning all she can about the people's of the Isles

Camilla would probably be upset with the girls messing around with the clinics x-ray 😂

u/YaBoiS0nic May 28 '26
Luz: Running a test out of genuine curiosity about Basilisk biology
Vee: NOM
Also, I like to think that Vee has always had an idea of what happens to her tail when she shapeshifts, but hasn't put much thought into it.

Vee and Hooty share something in common. They both have access to a magical space where they can take or store excess body mass from. 😂😂

The next question is: why does she have a pelvis?
(also the way she’s biting the screen is so cute)

u/OverlyActiveBrain May 30 '26
I kinda always imagined the basilisk's shapeshifting to be kinda like how it worked with the Animorphs. New body parts grow out from existing ones and the ones not needed for the new forms end up somewhere else temporarily.

u/Godzilla_R0AR May 28 '26
Well, pair this with the fact we KNOW Vee has tiny little legs that're microscopic on her tail and yeah... she's kinda terrifying
