spaghettimonster: (AEFENGLOM)
Current Status: (changes updated November 19, 2019, full moons & quests updated February 3, 2020)

By now, Papyrus is an outright skeletal werewolf, roughly 6'3" tall - see the icon above for a quick example of his appearance. His facial features are unusually flexible for a skeleton, letting him do everything from smile, frown, cry and even blush, thanks to being made of magic rather than literal bones. (But, being a skeleton, even his most upset expressions still have that bit of skeletal smile to them).

His icons don't really reflect his appearance anymore, in body or in attire. He didn't bring the 'battle body' of most of his artwork with him, but wears a mix of Victorian-style Aefenglom fashion and the more casual modern-style things he's been crafting lately, t-shirts with cool mottos and embroidered skulls alike.

And he's run the gamut of monstrous changes, with all the following differences from his canon appearance:
- canine canines: sharper teeth, especially the fangs
- canine claws: fingers and toes end in points
- reflective eyesockets (like a dog/cat/etc, his eyes reflect ominous circles at the right angles)
- canine snout: his lower face has lengthened and protruded
- tail: his spine has extended into a medium-length tail
- fur growth: thick fur (and skin) on his feet and down the back of his spine - especially on his tail - and thinner fur up the back of his skull and limbs
- canine feet, digitigrade legs: y'know, your classic wolfman legs, albeit far more skeletal. think zombie wolfman, but clean, for the shape of his paws.
- canine ears, fluffy and prone to moving with his mood

He is not quite as fluffy as the below artwork suggests, but it's a good starting point for visualization:
