You know, post-reformation I felt that the average changeling at least more closely resembled a more cervine shape than equine, such that thinking back on it, I could see that in the changelings pre-reformation, too. It's still a bug that looks like some kind of ungulate, tho, so it's still cool. And it possibly makes herbivorous quadruped body-shapes easier for them to maintain, which, considering that those are among the more populous species of this planet, it seems, and certainly of the neighboring territories to Chrysalis' hive, makes for easier, more practical predation. It does make me wonder if there aren't other changeling hives out there that have adopted slightly different body plans, in order to best capitalize on the local population, whatever it may happen to be. Maybe other changelings eat different emotions, too... as a species, they're very mysterious in origin, ignoring the comics (which aren't really canon to the main series in any way, shape, or form, anyways). Just another amongst the teetering pile of unanswered lore questions for this series... Come to think of it, aren't breezies insectoid equines, too...?



Also, this is an interesting was to address the holes in their legs, with the strange serrated shapes. I feel like I've seen something like it before- possibly a similar but ultimately different structure in some form of unrelated spec-bio illustration. Idk. (I do feel like I've seen something like it in a real example, too, but I'm drawing a blank here, unfortunately.)
