Athamaru Metamorphosis

Parent page Athamaru

Any adult athamaru can undergo a metamorphosis to become larger. This typically happens when they intend to become a matriarch. The process doesn’t innately change an athamaru’s understanding of their gender, but is viewed rather as a new stage in their life. Athamarus can metamorphose without their community needing a new matriarch. This most commonly occurs when they intend to leave and form a new community. When a matriarch abdicates, they often slowly transition back from their larger form, though they will always be taller than the average athamaru and typically command some additional respect even after their role as matriarch is a thing of the past.
