Eric felt his feet bloating inside his feet, toes shifting around and slowly moving to a more bent-over position. When the feeling finally became a bit less, he impulsively twitched his foot muscles and with a short rip he saw two sets of black claws ripping through his shoes, moving back in with another twitch and Eric quickly removed his shoes and socks. His shortened feet were entirely covered in the grey-and-black fur pattern and his toes were moving around until his small toe finally moved up his ankle and the four other toes mostly merged. Now leaning with his hands on the floor as it was near-impossible to stand up straight, Eric lifted one hind paw and looked behind him, seeing the bottom of paw covered in leathery pads. Finally, he could see his legs gaining mass through his pants as they bulged up and at the same time seemed to become wider, his legs shortened to arm length as they thickened. Eric knew he had to get out of this place, and with a bit of difficulty he moved forward on his hands and hind paws, using his tail to keep his balance.
