”That’s quite the ornate and expensive-looking blunt object you’re about to strike me with! Unless you have that fully insured through the original manufacturer (or you can fix it yourself), I wouldn’t wield it while I’m like this.”
While it does very little to inure him from the pain of blunt force trauma, Tahajin’s crystalline structure is a defense to be reckoned with. Boasting a molecular lattice on par, if not surpassing that of the harder gamut of carbon – it is his personal allotrope to his much more malleable, yet still solid state. It’s also one of his reflexive configurations that gestate somatically in a localized area if danger by ways of physical armament is imminent (mind, this doesn’t work if he isn’t aware of said attack). The protrusions favored in this form range from spikes jutting from the ground to erected ramparts several meters in length and width. Projectiles either ricochet or slide of his surface, and martial contact is not advised – as there’s a strong possibility one’s bones will be dashed into a fine powder before a fist does any noticeable damage.
In short, even the descriptor ‘resilient’ is a subpar adjective when illustrating this form’s durability. As such, it’s the polymorph’s go-to form should the situation (or someone therein) require safeguarding. You’ll noticed that the extremities gain a very slight opalescent quality the further from the torso they travel. As you might expect, this diaphanous gradient isn’t suggesting at weakening of the material, but a secondary use. Abandoning both absorption and reflection of light, Tahajin can employ a basic iteration of camouflage to coincide with his other polymorphic abilities. One of his latest subterfuge missions actually involved him transforming into a chunk of cubic zirconium so he could spring into a last ditch defensive perimeter around a particularly crucial personage and emissary. As a far more casual example, the possat loves using his fingertips as prisms, as that is the closest he’ll ever come to obtaining the entire color spectrum.
