But as much as you want to tear him to shreds, you don't want to risk doing so right now. Maybe distracting him would be better, and then you can attack him while off guard. You quickly realize you haven't even bothered to try to speak since you've become a latex lizard. You decide to try, but all that comes out of your mouth is a mix of hisses, growls and... Squeaking? The rubber dragon can only laugh at your attempt, you growl at him.
"How entertaining. Ever since I made those transformed by the symbiote into bipedal animals, they were incapable of speech. It seems even you are like them." He says mockingly.
You can only glare back at him. But then your attention is brought to the journal you're still holding. The dragon notices your interest.
"Ah yes, that journal was for my notes on the development of this project. I'm afraid I'll be needing it back soon." He says with an unreadable tone.
"I already know how persistent you are, lizard. So I know there's no point in negotiating with you. I suppose I'll need to get my claws dirty."
Within moments the rubber dragon lunges at you. You sidestep and he flys past you, and manages to land on his feet. His red eyes stare into your very soul. You hiss as you feel and see a cut on your arm, which appears to be bleeding not red blood, but green goop. You mentally curse to yourself as now you have no means of distracting him...
But then again... Maybe you could rip the journal apart? You don't want to, as it may have the key to reversing the latex transformations... But maybe if you rip the journal you can force the information out of him.
