Kandra use this one crazy trick to lose weight... could it work for you?

[Oudeis he/him]

TenSoon swallows and eats an entire pig, and then the horse, to have enough mass to emulate the horse. We last see him as a horse observing the river of lava, seeing the mists rip from the sky as Vin ascends, and turning back to the Homeland. Hours later, he's at the Homeland, once again a wolfhound, a body specifically mentioned to be of smaller mass than a human.

 

Where did it all go? Did he take an acid bath to trim all that excess flesh? Can Kandra just pinch off the bits they don't need and leave gobs of muscle behind to rot? What happened?

I think that's a rather rude and unsympathetic way to talk about TenSoon's problems with bulimia.

I'm under the impression that Kandra can simply slough off excess body mass, abandoning a chunk of their body when transforming from a large form to a small form. They would leave behind a piece of dead flesh which they could probably reabsorb before it begins to decay too badly. This is unconfirmed of course.

Actually, when I ran the RPG, I made this a feat, which was useful for semiaquatic Kandra. They could ditch their fins in favor of the leg bones stored underneath.

... Yes I turned Kandra into merpeople... Also a kraken which migrated its Blessings to a tentacle and tried to break off and run away.
