Haley's form immediately morphs into the body of Whitney, a scraggly grey humanoid creature. Whitney is a quiet and skulking creature standing at only 4ft tall with elongated limbs great for clambering around stealthily. Most people will be disturbed or grossed out at Whitney's appearance.
Haley even when in the form of Whitney still possesses his memory and consciousness. He is aware he is Whitney at that moment. Whitney is just his critter's stage name.

As the transformation begins, the character's body convulses violently, bones cracking as they surge into a towering 9-foot monstrosity. Their skin tears apart, revealing sinewy muscles covered in coarse, brownish-red fur, each strand slick with a sheen of blood. The fur pulses with dark energy, emitting an acrid, unnatural smoke. Two long, jagged horns burst from their skull, curving slightly backward, their tips glistening. Their eyes blaze with a sickly, unnatural glow, and their mouth stretches into a snarl, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. The transformation culminates in a bone-chilling howl, a desperate sound that seems to tear the very air apart. Every step they take leaves scorched earth in their wake, as reality itself recoils from the presence of this monstrous, eldritch being.
